- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated

- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
was not expecting how much I utterly adored this book.
A wonderful mix of Gothic, Sci fi and mystery all set in a haunting backdrop with a wonderful cast of characters which will have you mind racing long after you put this book down.
The perfect read as the nights are drawing in and getting colder here in the UK. Come on a journey with a new doctor heading to the cursed Chateau where his predecessor has seemingly taken his own life.
The start of this book gave me a similar foreboding to that of Jonathon Harker as he travels towards the counts castle in Dracula - and it does not disappoint.
The foreboding continues as the doctor arrives in this new snow covered location with everyone they meet inferring 'it's not safe at night' reading through my notes I wrote at one point 'Vampire/Demon Possesion/HiveMind' every page had me guessing on what was going to happen next.
But as the story unravels you realise the doctor is not at all what they seem and the dawning moments of realisation don't stop there.
Ennes did an amazing job at keeping you guessing and when you thought you had a grip on what was happening -BAM! another shocking revelation.
I dying to know if there is going to be a second book.
I would love to know what happens next...
