This was a solid book. I really enjoyed the haunted coastal vibe that was going on. This book also had some thrilling elements, which I loved. I think my favorite POV was Jess's diary. We learned so much from that, and it really helped to tie the story together.
I wasn't the biggest fan of Mary's POV in the past. It was interesting, and it was cool to see how that tied to everyone else towards the end of the book. I wish there was a bigger connection shown to us readers earlier, though, instead of having to wait until the epilogue to finally have that "ah-ha" moment. I was left feeling a bit confused at times.
I liked the plot point of Lucy setting out to the find the truth after she realizes her sister Jess is missing. Her POV was super interesting, and it was fun to watch her uncover secrets (even if they were a tad dark).
Overall, this book is worth the read if you enjoy historical and mystery elements in books. The plot is engaging, especially once you hit the part where Jess's POV starts. I can't wait to see what Emilia Hart puts out next!
