I absolutely adored this book and would read again! It has a cool Gothic vibe without being dreary. It was so beautifully written and the characters leapt off the page.
The only thing keeping it from 5 stars for me were the somewhat jarring flashbacks, most of which didn't really seem necessary to the plot and were generally dropped in mid-scene.
Even so, this book is very much worth a read and I highly recommend it!
