mysterious
tense

Character
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
This was very intriguing and quite confusing. Why did Mary Katherine kill her family, why is Constance hiding this, why does the townspeople hate them etc. Many of my questions were left unanswered. I wish it was longer but given the author's state of mind at that time I can understand why it was quite short. Still would recommend.
