"The kind of dark that tricks the eye; makes you see things where there are none, or miss things when they are there. The dark that lives in the spaces you know you should not look, lest you catch sight of other eyes, staring back."

Got this book from one of my friends' bookhaul and received it with lower price! I have read another V. E. Schwab book the other time, it's called The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue and I fall in love with it instantly. But it was quite different with this one... All I found were just vibes and no plot. The story lingers in between the haunting past of their houses and the family who lived in it. It sorta remind me of The Haunting of Hill House.
