I was convinced to read this gothic horror novella because of emmie books on booktube and I was very pleased with it! It is definitely chilling and fun to dive into. Obviously, if you read the book, you'll catch more details and I highly recommend to watch emmie explain her thought process to you so you can better enjoy it!! ...more

This is a creepy book, but it takes a long time for the story to get going. The initial storytelling that introduces the story-within-the-story doesn't seem to have any purpose except add length to a short novel and unfortunately (for suspense) lets us know that the governess survives her fearful tale.

Once events start occurring, this does get disturbing and is certainly worth reading, especially as the first of this kind of horror. 3.5 stars.

This book was actually super good. I love how it could be taken multiple ways (ghosts are real or imaginary and our narrator is crazy or not etc.)

4/5 stars
