These Fleeting Shadows by Kate Alice Marshall
4.0

A very fun horror book for, I would say, ages 15+. It's got a little bit of everything. Ghosts ("there are no ghosts in Harrow"), huge house, family inheritance and bitter resentments,
Spoilera Lovecraftian being, wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff, unreliable narrator.
and some really well-fleshed out characters and an adorable romance. A little bit Haunting of Hill House and a little bit Death Note . And, as the author's note says, inspired by The Great God Pan .

Why Death Note?
SpoilerThe whole "I planned this from the beginning and then made myself forget." was SO Kira. It was all according to keikaku.
