The Death of Jane Lawrence by Caitlin Starling
3.0
This book gave me some Crimson Peak vibes. I enjoyed the gothic horror of it all, but it didn't live up to my expectations.
The place it fell short for me was that it went in some pretty strange directions. Usually that is what you want and expect from this type of book, but it didn't work in its favor. It had magic that wasn't explained well, and ad much as it added to the story, it also took away because it was so bizarre. It was just too jumbled to make sense enough of it to fully enjoy.
*Thanks the Netgalley and Macmillan for access to a copy of this title.
