I am a sucker for Rachel Hawkins’s gothic stories. And this one didn’t let me down at the end like The Villa did, although I felt like there were way too many reveals at the end and many of the twists were fairly easily guessable. Still I was completely wrapped up in this book and just had to know how it ended. It was exactly my cup of tea: gothic mansion inhabited by a messed up family with secrets aplenty. There’s even a gothic-esque ending. So my gothic heart is very happy.
