The beginning of the book was intriguing and I enjoyed the atmosphere being created, but it began to drag about halfway through. I was becoming frustrated with
I would also not recommend this to anyone who is not comfortable with reading scenes of sexual assault. It was listed as a moderate content warning but the topic is brought up relatively frequently and is described graphically a few times. I did not expect it to play such a large role in the plot. I would also add that body horror is described very vividly.
Overall, I wanted to like this as it seemed up my alley, but the plot and characters really fell short.

While some of the symbolism is a bit on the nose, I think that’s in the legacy of great haunted house novels!
