    I’m seeing very mixed reviews about this so I’m intrigued! I hope it’s good :)

    I am actually struggling with this one... I just can't seem to get into it. Should I push through it?

    3,25⭐️ the first half of this i enjoyed but the end was really not for me / spoilers \ first of all there was some thing i didn't understand and i think were plot holes (or im dumb) for exemple when she kill the baby in the middle of the book she said she cut his throat but she never cleaned the blood ?? and when she dressed the other baby in the dead baby clothes they were not stained apparently ?? maybe i missed smth abt the ending, i think it was boring that she killed everyone yes she hate them or whatever but she seems more angry abt the Pounds so why would you kill all the guest ? made no sense for me and you're telling me no one tried to stop her ? they were like 10 and no one tried to kill her or to escape the house, which is very convenient for the story and the reveal she's the man's daugther was not satisfying, i think the build up for this was not enough yes we have like one sentence telling us she worked for another John Pounds but its was not enough (imo) to understand she was looking for him overall i really liked the ambiance and the mystery (the dead babies, her mother) of the first half but the second half was boring and disappointing

    Non-theatre kid here - recommend?

    Any other non-theatre kids here who have read and would recommend? What's the pacing like? From the general synopsis it seems like something I'd enjoy, but having read some comments I'm not so sure aaaand not sure if I want to invest money and time into it then... would loooove some feedback!
