Dark, mysterious, upsetting. The twist
the albino being the kingpin
was predictable, but that's not a criticism.
All the paganism stuff seemed really rushed, though, so Francis's motivations weren't exactly fleshed out. Like, I knew he was behind things, but I still don't really know why.


My biggest complaint, tbh, was the narrator of the audiobook was a guy. I never felt connected to Mary because the voice he gave her was ridiculous. idk why a novel with a female protagonist was narrated thus, but oh well.

All in all, it's no Rebecca but still alright.
