"This book is a WORK OF ART. 💜 It's the type of book I'd suggest going into blind; Not knowing what it's about. So all I'll say is: Reading this book you will feel confused, scared, excited, intrigued, and attached to the characters. This. Book. Is. Pure. Perfection. Highly recommend!!!!"

"I enjoyed this book. It was weird but I love weird. LOL If I had one complaint, I would say that I wish that we had more of the past of the grand'mere and that some of the characters were just a little more flushed out, especially the mother and Rhys. Overall, though, I did like it a lot and I would read more from this author."

"WOW that was Complex!!! This was REALLY good, and it makes me want to slam my head into a wall (but like in a Good way)!!!!!! This is Definitely a Gothic Horror book, and one with FANTASTIC characters at that!!!"

"The Addams Family+Sleepy Hollow+Eldritch Horror Kirby= this book. 3/5⭐️. The story was ok but it felt like it was lacking something and the MC kept getting so close to solving the big mystery before she’d just forget and come to the same conclusions again and again. Kind of annoying. "

"Imagine a book taking such a strong hold on you that you end up dreaming about it. That's exactly what happened to me tonight. This story felt like waltzing inside a museum and then being beaten up with its beautiful paintings. All in all, wonderful experience, definitely another favourite of the year."
