Beautiful, atmospheric prose and a wonderful setting. The storyline intrigued me right from the start. However as the plot progressed I found my mind wandering and overall it didn't leave the lasting impression that I had hoped for.

If you love a good gothic spooky tale then this book is definitely for you. Well-written, a likeable and relatable protagonist and a satisfying conclusion - this book does what it says on the tin.

If I was to be slightly picky it would only be to say that it would have been more of a standout read for me if it had brought another layer to the simple tropes that have been used many times before. But an atmospheric and fun read.

With thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this honest review in exchange for digital ARC.
