I’m not easily disturbed, but I’m just gonna say if dead/decomposing bodies are something you can’t handle, don’t read this.

Stephen had all the potential in the world and yet repetition and lack of character building left me screaming at my kindle.
Beryl is employed as a governess by the brooks family but soon she discovers that things aren't what they seem. I loved the premise but I feel it could've been better executed. The set up of her telling her story wasn't consistent - you'd be immersed in the scene and then she'd mention something about future Beryl.
The ending was literally her going back to Grange Hurst because she needed a dominatrix, like WTF

This was a great wee horror. And yes I did read the dreaded chapter
This was actually so good. Spooky, gothic, atmospheric… also gory as hell. Not quite enough to push it to the splatterpunk genre but it was a really good horror read. I loved that there was still plot twists and info being added right up to the last page.

Okay, so I'm probably just mental & found this underwhelming. I expected it to be way more gross, but don't get me wrong it's still gross & really messed up. I just expected more.
