I had a great time with this book, a gothic horror novel about a cursed girls' school, and the film crew who was trying to make a movie on-location about the curse. The first half of the book is extremely entertaining as the tension builds. The characters' flaws are well-written and at times kind of overshadowed the supernatural horror of the story, which I really enjoyed.
Moderate: Child death and Self harm
