I read this one for a book club. Overall, this was a griping, fast-paced story. I absolutely loved the gothic horror elements. It was a perfect atmospheric horror read. The plot really drags you along for the ride to the point that I couldn't put this book down and finished it in one day, which is unusual for me. This book is definitely for the person who loves a spooky, atmospheric read.
