I loved the atmospheric descriptions, especially in the beginning of the book - very spooky, very well done! Also, love the cat :)
What I didn‘t enjoy:
- The main character is extremely unlikeable and I disagree with so many of her choices.
- I was missing some information on why exactly the hauntings happen, and why women with certain visual similarities are drawn in. What‘s the point of this whole thing? When will it stop?
- While generally well done and plausible, the setup of who the murderer is was pretty obvious almost from the start. Would‘ve loved to have some more mystery.
