Loved this!! It’s a great take on the idea of a Spite House, and the historical legacy of it. Adding in the supernatural and spooks and jumps is just perfect.

This book is terrible, it should not be considered a Thriller at all. This is 100% a romance novel and not a very good one. I do not recommend this book.

If you like detective novels that have a detailed plot, and don’t mind European terminology this is a good book. I personally like Robinsons’ writing style.

Super slow book, I’d say I was halfway through before it got good at all. The story was interesting and she could have done a lot more with it but so much of the book was waisted on useless back story and personal relationships that didn’t matter.
