This paranormal, gothic tale unfolds in a dual POV spanning across two timelines. I loved following these storylines and speculating on how they would eventually intertwine. Both MFC characters within this story are on a journey to escape oppression and embrace their true selves, each harboring similar secrets. I was deeply invested in their stories and appreciated how they discovered purpose and self-love along the way. However, the pacing felt uneven, with the first 75% and the final 25% of the book feeling somewhat disjointed, almost like they belonged in separate stories. If you enjoy dark, gothic love stories, this one is worth checking out!
