Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
My full review will be posted on my blog on October 11th, 2021
Caitlin Starling is a master at crafting a tale in which the words themselves are beautiful. Of course, the plot itself was fantastic. However, Starling uses creative phrasings to create a world in which you are enraptured. This is a slow build-up to insanity, and it was done incredibly well.
Jane Lawrence is the perfect main character for this book. Her life is ruled by numbers, rules, and logic. This is truly tested throughout the book. Her husband, and catalyst, Augustine was both loveable and frustrating. He wanted to do what was best for Jane, but he consistently was selfish in his own guilt and grief.
This is one of those books in which reviewing its contents is tricky when you do not want to spoil the story. The pacing was interesting, as it would seem to come to a peak and then lull, in a way that tricked you into feeling safe. Overall, this was a fantastic horror story that kept me on my toes and gave me the ending I wanted.
