Nooks & Crannies by Jessica Lawson
4.0
I think it most likely would have been a 4.5 star read from me if I didn't expect the plot like 100 pages in on the fact that the countless wasn't the real one and that tabhiha would inherit everything.
I feel like the plot would not be seen coming if I hadn't read the cousins in which that plot was almost identical including the butler part and like having an accomplice. My only real complain other than the main character being slightly strange is the OBIVIOUS tension between tabhitha and Oliver like rlly? Twins? Like in the cousins they thought they were twins but actually they weren't and then the two main characters started dating. Except in this story it was them having an obvious more than friends moment to being twins. Like... please la. I have never like reading like romance In any books buy I really thought they were going to get together and they would be so nice together but noo the author had to make them twins for no apparent reason. Hence making the rating for me like a 4.2 just at the sheer disappointment of them becoming twins. As for the story, I think it was definitely more well done than the cousins because it was just more exciting with secret passages and I was genuinely scared for the characters when tabitha said she saw something in the window. And I liked the idea of the secret passageways and the peepholes thing I think it made the story very well done because the ghost part was more of a sub plot and it really was good in the sense that it also helped tie everything together nicely. And also how in the world if Kimberly( the mice) survive? I mean there could have been some loss but not the author was like nope won't have any sense of sorrow happening over here. But like genuinely HOW?
Anyways yes. Story was generally quite sweet and the cover is stunning would love to read more books from the author as I really think in the middle of the book, there was good suspension.
