Not horrible but not amazing either. I was pretty into it for the first half of the book but then the turn it took wasn’t what I expected and it didn’t go in a direction i would’ve preferred. I was hoping for more horror than character connecting but I loved the descriptions of the house and the creepy stuff happening there. Mushrooms are cool! The eugenics stuff was horrible and they are icky people. Also what the heck was going on with Noemi and Vergil; still not entirely sure what was his pull on her/ control and what was her actual thoughts. Because she kept saying he was attractive and that Francis was ugly in comparison but then hated and wanted Vergil? Then ended up with Francis cause he was better like idk I know she didn’t actually want Vergil it was just weird. Not much else to say honestly. While I am happy Francis and Noemi end up together I wasn’t too happy with the ending; it fell flat and felt like it got wrapped up too easily.
