I'm still not sure if Gothic fiction is my style or not. I love the atmosphere created in Gothic works, but the pacing is always a bit slow for me. This was a solid read though - I loved the story and the characters, although I found the time jumps to be a bit hard to follow. Ward has a gift for creating an amazing ending for her stories and this one was no exception. I definitely look forward to reading more from her in the future.
