I haven't read a gothic horror/lit in forever and this story reminded me why I love the genre! The authors decision to alternate between interview and flashback made the story engaging and I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. (I would reccomend to those who liked Rebecca) Thank you Poisoned Pen Press for thr arc!:)
