 It’s rare that I genuinely don’t want to put a book down. I could not stop reading this book, and even when I had to, I was thinking about it. 
 
Schwab does a great job at setting a scene and she creates such a vivid image of this haunted house. It isn’t quite scary, but there is a spookiness that follows you around the entire book. 
 
I will caution that this book is YA and I find that YA doesn’t typically get into the depth of the horror genre as well as it could. But I think that if you like ghosts stories, this is beautifully told. 
 
Overall, as a fan of horror and magic, I absolutely loved this book! It was a quick, immersive read. 
 
I received an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
