I love this gothic world and family! I also didn't think I'd love this book as much as the first, but it was just so enjoyable that I stayed up way past my usual bedtime and finished it in a day!
Getting introduced to a few more members of the Family was fun, even if they weren't fun characters to know, haha. Winthrop was a great new addition to the story too.
I truly love the themes of (a chosen) family, understanding and working through grief, and just trust in one another - seeing that there can be good in even the worst of people or their pasts.
Highly recommend this duology!
