This one is...better?
I do enjoy the Lovecraft meets Henry James vibe of this book, but the romance falls absolutely flat. The scenes are few and far between, and it seems like Hazel is trying to convince herself to be attracted to these guys. Like, how is this even an RH? It feels like a few “you’re here, and I’m here” hook-ups, and no one’s motivation makes sense.
Everything feels so one-dimensional. Like, even the bullies are just kind of bleh...I just don’t really care if anyone (except maybe Andre) survives the series.
I will say, I feel like I understand the motivations of the guys more, and I love the “Turn of the Screw” feel from the last plot twist.
