The Restoration by J.H. Moncrieff
dark
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
Out of respect for the power of ratings, I'll opt to not rate this one on here, because the issues are all mine. I'm a huge fan of ghost stories and haunted houses and this hits all the marks. But I reckon it was absolutely poor timing on my part as a mood reader. My heart wasn't all in for this (On a total, absolutely ruined, Haunting Adeline hangover) and because of that, this fell flat for me and I was uncharacteristically bored and rushing for an ending(!?) Totally a me problem - so if you're into haunted houses, ghosts, paranormal activity and murder mysteries, give this a chance because it's a great story!
