In a word, this book was amazing! I'm a bit ashamed it took me so long to read it, but I'm grateful that NetGalley provided a copy in exchange for an honest review. This hit all the right notes for gothic romance and horror without being overbearing. I found that I couldn't stop reading it once I started and I was rewarded with twists and turns and a thoroughly satisfying ending. I can't wait to recommend this to my library kids looking for a book that feels like Crimson Peak.
