The concept of this book sounded so interesting and intriguing, but overall I was rather underwhelmed. It's less horror than I initially anticipated - more gothic fantasy I guess. I felt it was a little too long and repetitive. I wasn't shocked by the twists or reveals as it all seemed rather obvious, and certain elements were left as loose ends. The ending lacks solid resolution. 

It kept my interest enough to finish, but didn't build the emotional connection I'd want in order to really care for the characters and their journey.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
