I liked this book way more than I was expecting! It was so atmospheric and so spooky. The mystery aspect of the book hooked me and I was eating through this book to figure out why the weird events on Longhaven were happening. My only gripe with this book is that I felt like a couple aspects of the book that were brought up weren’t addressed or answered which left some loose threads. Some examples are:

the wildling boy that didn’t speak English even though supposedly everyone on the island did since witch’s hide was created and why brody was telling Luna that the residents of the island wanted to kill her

. But overall, a great little spooky book to kick off spooky season a little early!
