Eerie, mysterious and sweet and romantic at the same time. Premise was ok, nothing very special. Narration was good though I didn't like the voices she made. Enjoyable enough to be interested in the sequel.

For someone who has read more than a couple of Gothic books, this one had not much new to offer to the genre. Not very original. I will probably not continue the series.
As a youngster one of the subgenres on which I "cut my literary teeth " was the then-popular "Gothic Suspense," with gloomy covers featuring brooding mansions in the moonlight and frightened heroines in full escape. I devoured those, both the historical and contemporary settings. Probably reading so deeply in this type helped formulate some of my concepts of life: independence vs. Dependence on others, poverty vs. Wealth, romance vs. "Convenience."
