This book started pretty interesting. I took it without really knowing what it was about, so I was surprised to see it was a kind of gothic horror story. The first chapters were very intriguing, knowing that our main character was a woman ready to do anything to survive, meeting new characters full of secrets, and the setting was pretty eerie. However, I don't feel the story manage to pay off these expectations. By the end, the characters felt flat, the pace was way too slow and I was just skimming to get to the end. 
Overall, I think it was a fine enough read.
