I was expecting way more from this book, and it left me underwhelmed. It was much too long, often boring & repetitive, and lacked the creepy gothic vibes it promised to deliver. I didn't find the ending satisfying at all. 

Ultimately, I felt as though this was really just a long-winded story about grief and how it changes people. The cover, blurb, and title feel misleading, and I certainly don't agree with it being labeled as horror (or even horror-adjacent).
