Final Thoughts:
Michaela: This book was wild! An incredibly compelling concept and mystery. Any time I thought I knew what was going to happen the book proved me wrong. It gave me goosebumps, the creeps, and the chills. It also made me feel smart and dumb. Groundhog Day meets Clue meets a deadly period drama. It’s a very complex story with tangled storylines, and I loved almost every second of it. Highly recommend this read to anyone who loves a good mystery and complicated stories.
Jacilyn: I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect coming into this book, but goodness gracious did it throw my mind for a loop. That was one of the most intense mysteries I think I’ve ever read! Nothing was simple, there were layers and layers that kept you guessing from the first page until the very end. Who can you trust? Who is out to get you? What really happened at Blackheath all those years ago? You’ll have to read to find out.
