This was a fun horror read that checked off the biggest Gothic tropes: big, dilapidated mansion â ď¸ ghostly figures â ď¸ tall, dark handsome and brooding men â ď¸ but this is where the basics end. I did not expect who or what the antagonist ultimately ended up being, but I found it/them to be very entertaining and unexpected. I also really liked the character development that Noemi and Francis end up going through right up until the end. The only reason I am giving it a 4 star rating is because I felt that the first two-thirds of the book was a slow burn and I had to be pretty persistent in my reading. But I am glad that I stuck with it because the last one-third of the book was a true roller coaster.
