Minor: Trafficking
There is a brief mention of a child being rescued from sex trafficking. The emotional/physical abuse, blood, gore, and violence are all very graphic. Not for the sensitive.onemamareads's review against another edition

The perfect October read (I mean, seriously. Haunted house? Super evil demonic forces? Say less)
I loved the pacing of this book, I was never bored and the banter between Andi and Magnus was just perfect.
This will absolutely be one I re-read over and over again!

4.5
Because this is a Young Adult novel, I thought that it was wise that the curse was passed down to Magnus Rochester from his father. The curse itself is horrific with the house manifesting disturbing aspects of gore and monstrous dwellers. I would rate this in the middle for spooky level: if someone is sensitive to stories about murder or hauntings this might not be the book for them, but I also would not call this book flat out nightmarish horror. Magnus is a spoiled brat and I found him at times likable and most other times exceedingly revolting due to this fact. However, this too mirrors the aristocratic Rochester falling for the working girl in his employ from the original story.
I listened to the book as an audiobook and found the narrator to brilliantly convey the captivating tale. I rooted for Andi throughout it and found the ending haunting in its own way.
I give this YA Gothic Fantasy retelling of <i>Jane Eyre</i> 4.5 Stars Rounded Up.

halfbloodprincess_hogwarts's review against another edition
The beginning I felt had potential and it constantly nose dived.
Watching paint dry would be more exciting that this book. The only reason I listened so long was due to the narrator's British accent. I like her voice and it's very therapeutic to listen to. Until I realized that I was daydreaming and no longer really following the story.
I like the premise of Andromeda exercising spirits. But her character is DEEPLY dampening my soul.
The only moment the book captured my attention was during the scene where the room Magnus was sleeping in began to fill with blood.
Every character in this story is a tortured soul and all the characters are toxic. I...just... can't.... anymore!!!!
This book makes my soul tired😩
