I loved this book so much it has everything I love in it that makes a great gothic romance with mystery and a terrible murderous cult. I loved the characters so much especially Wil and Elwood although there is a rift between them at the start but it is mended by the end. I loved Wil for her at first her willingness to do whatever it takes to solve the disappearance of her mother along the way she finds so much worth fighting for. What I loved so much about Elwood was his love for Wil and how her is willing to go above and beyond to protect her and at the end to rid their town of that terrible cult. I also loved the characters around then like Ronnie, Lucas and Kevin they added so much to this story that made it all worth reading. I loved the plot it starts by telling of Wil's mother's disappearance to Wil doing whatever to try to find her to Elwood finding out about the cult and the fact they want to sacrifice him. Many other things are found out and we have a great gothic story with a wonderful romance in it with things on grief and understanding.
