I really enjoyed this, I thought it was the perfect spooky October book.

It was however a slow book and in parts it felt glacial. 

I loved the haunting aspects and found the bits about Highgate cemetery particularly interesting.

 The author dealt with death and mental health well, and I genuinely cared about the characters, even when they made shitty decisions. 

I would recommend this if you like a slow burn book, it kind of put me in a slump and really had to force myself to finish this book up. 

It really was a good book, but i think some of it could have been cut out just to speed it up a bit. Around 100 pages longer than I would have liked! 😂
