I really liked this book. The prose fits the story well and the unnamed narrator is a great gothic protagonist - she resembles the main character in the Turn of The Screw, being an unreliable narrator with a history, repressed sexual desire, and notably a hatred of the blooming sexuality of young women.
The tension in Hare House builds slowly through careful use of atmosphere and horrific events. Cass is a fascinating character and very accurate for a traumatised 17 year old - in equal parts charming, annoying, and disturbing, all of those filtered through the faulty interpretation of the narrator.
The ending is creepy, and it doesn't leave everything nicely wrapped up and explained.
Recommended.

The pace is too slow and if you're going to be an unreliable narrator at least try to trick me into liking you or caring at all about what happens to you.
Also, the ending was too ambiguous and left to many questions that didn't make a lot of sense.
It was alright, I guess. Meh!
