I always love the concept of transplanting a gothic novel to a new setting and time period and I thought this book did a great job of creating the creepy gothic atmosphere while maintaining a sense of place and time that still felt very 50s. Noemi was a fantastic lead, I loved her stubbornness, drive and fashion sense! 

This book was genuinely scary! The imagery was very vivid and the plot unfolded in a very satisfying way leading up to a nail biting finale.
