I loved this book so much. The writing is beautiful and oftentimes poetic. The imagery is beautifully done but also the horror is incredible. This gives Haunting of Hill House vibes but with much more story and detail! 🕯️

I absolutely loved this book. It's equal parts spooky, empowering, and romantic. It perfectly captures the feelings, both good and bad, when you walk into a space that feels like it is living. Typically, I dislike period pieces, and would have avoided a book set in the 1800s like this one, but the storyline didn't feel as dated as many others and focused more on the timeless human and haunting aspects. Beautifully written and read like a movie in my mind.

There are very few books where I actively gasp. This was one of those books. Had I not been at work I would have probably had a stronger reaction but even then I could hardly contain myself. Everything gets compared to Mexican Gothic now but truly this a fantastic read if you're itching for more like it. The gore and more nasty imagery isn't as present (unfortunately) but it shines in having a rich set of characters and a town that feels like you are never alone yet isolated at the same time. As somebody who is very picky and specific, this book was exactly what I needed.
