Whooo, what a creepy ride..
Loved every second of it and still wanted more in the end.
Noemi is a loveable character from the start, I liked her and how determine she was in helping her cousin-making sure she was getting the best help in that creepy ass mansion. One thing I love about her is that she always stood her ground with the Doyle.
Virgil was just a awful dude. I still couldn't see how Catalina ever fell for him. Even when he was "sweet", there was a creepiness to it that rub me the wrong way. Never care for him and don't make me start on Howard..... dear lord.
Francis had my head turning around from his actions. One moment you think he's a nice, good guy that enjoys helping Noemi etc-next this man is all business for his family. But when I read more, I get it. He couldnt do anything even if he actually very hardly tried too. In the end, he stole my cold beating heart.
Surprisedly, I liked the small romance in here. I was here for the horror but the tiny small romance was a nice touch to the story.
Now the mansion... That house is one messed up place. The more Noemi dug deeper in that place, the more I was creeped out. I dont know how to describe it but the way Silvia wrote everything and the connections was excellent and it had me reading until I was finished the book.
Like mushrooms??? Guys mushrooms...... like how is that possible. I love it.
Also that bedroom scene...... OMG!!!!!!!! it was disgusting and just *gag* (i hated how Francis just stood there and did nothing but like i said, i understand he couldnt but still... you know)
The ending was satisfying but I kind of wanted to know more on the after math of everything.
Her father reaction about everything? and their relationship since he is strict?
Their story about what happened?
Is it all gone? Really gone?
But anyways, loved it and I will definitely will be reading it again. (i need a physical copy ASAP)
