This book is a wild, roller coaster of a ride full that I couldn't put down. I'm highly impressed with Silvia's incredible writing style, her ability to make the book feel so fast but also move at a pace that only gives us a bit of information at a time. There is foreshadowing galore, and if you're smart enough you'll be able to pick up on the subtle hints the book throws at you...
Overall, this is one of the greatest books I've read in a very long time. It's spooky, it's weird, and it's wild. I absolutely love it.
Sure, it's gorey. And has incest. And has sexual harssment/assault. And a lot of other bad things... But this is the type of fantastical horror I expect out of an incredible gothic writer.
Five out of five stars.
