I didn’t hate this book, but I had one problem with it that honestly ruined my enjoyment. I just could not understand the main character’s motivation. I mean, she goes through ALL THAT for…..a man she barely knows who keeps lying directly to her face, when the option of not having to deal with any of it is a very very viable option given the circumstances. I just cannot rationalize why she did all that she did. That just really really took me out of the story so I had an hard time caring about what was going on. Otherwise it wasn’t bad, just mediocre, but I did enjoy the gothic, haunted house vibes.
