Another great witchy mystery from C. J. Cooke with cosy gothic vibes.
I loved the setting and the premise of the house. The mystery was really well crafted and I loved the folklore elements that came into it, as well as the characters and dynamics between them.
Duel pov/timeline always works well for me and I really enjoyed both character perspectives. The perspectives slowly joining together towards the end helped to keep the momentum going for what would otherwise be a fairly slow paced storyline.
All round just a really solid story that was enjoyable the whole way through and I hope to continue reading more from C. J. Cooke
