 “And when she was good,
 She was very, very good,
 But when she was bad, she was horrid.”
 
Jane’s habit of eating pages was interesting, and the cover is absolutely gorgeous. 
But it had some elements that are often used (girl moves to a different town, into an old house that has a dark history everybody knows but no one talks about) and so the plot twist wasn’t a surprise to me. Still, it was a pleasant read and the build-up to the climax was good.
