I really enjoyed this!! I honestly just wanted it to be longer to flesh out the story and characters even more, though they didn't necessarily feel lacking in this context either. I just wanted more! This started slower and didn't seem too much like horror for the first half, but then it really ramped up in the second half. I liked the writing style and T Kingfisher really painted a gruesome and horrific picture with some of her descriptions through that second half, but even through the first I really enjoyed the creepy gothic vibes. I would definitely read more from this author and the second book in this duology.
