Black Rabbit Hall by Eve Chase
4.5
I stayed up until midnight to finish this last night, I just could no put it down!
The story is a family drama with gothic tones, giving me a Flowers in the Attic vibe but with less incest. It followed two different women decades apart, and while I figured out the twists about a third of the way through, I was still glued to the pages because I wanted to figure out exactly how things unfolded. Reading the characters as they figured out the "plot twists" of their lives also kept me on the edge of my seat.
Crazed, fanatical step-mothers (or grandmothers) seems to be a running theme in these family drama gothic tales, and Black Rabbit Hall didn't disappoint. I had no problems hating the character that twisted everything up and ruined lives, and that's saying something since I usually try to see the story from the villain's point of view to justify their actions. Not this time though! They were truly unforgivable things.
I just thoroughly enjoyed this to pieces and I'm so glad I finally picked it up after seeing it two years ago in a shop and being enticed by the title and cover.
