This story had so much potential. There were so many great aspects of this book but sadly it felt like they didn't really come together. The ending felt really anticlimactic and rushed.
It was disappointed more than dislike because as I said the components of a truly amazing story were there.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
I immediately had to download this book after seeing somebody I follow on BookTok say they could barely get through it. I read a lot of stuff, including splatter punk, but this gave me a shiver down my spine just from the way things were described and told. I do believe Amy Cross will be a new author I add to my auto-buy list. Beryl comes to a family as a governess to help, but the help this family needs can not be given by one single woman, nor anyone for that matter.
