dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I absolutely loved this book!! It as spooky enough that I didn’t like reading it late into the night but couldn’t stop and the main character was as perfect for the story. She is youthful and naive but learns very quickly how bad people can be. There were some good twists that you can see coming and others you can’t. It kind of reminded me of a much better version of Rebecca mixed with Mexican Gothic. All around fantastic book!
