So if you’re not into any type of horror, then this isn’t for you. I should’ve known from the book’s description, but this book is full of (in-depth) murder and death. I also enjoyed learning about the gods and mythology of this world. While most of this book was dark and gothic, there were fun ball and festival scenes in between. I loved the octopus imagery and the descriptions of the sea. Craig’s descriptions of Highmoor and the world around them brought this fantasy world to life. They felt very Jane Austen to me, especially when they prepared to go to the balls. I really enjoyed this book! I it had a lot of twists and turns, and while I guessed two of the major plot points, the rest, particularly at the end, were great and surprising. In between dancing in myserious balls with her sisters, Annaleigh works to uncover the dark truth. When Annaleigh’s younger sister begins seeing ghosts, she believes that her last sister to die was actually murdered. She used to be one of twelve sisters, but four of her sisters have died tragic deaths. Without further ado, let’s start the review!Ī dark, gothic fairytale retelling? Very up my alley!Īnnaleigh lives in Highmoor, a manor on an island by the sea where the people worship a sea god. While I’m bummed about that, it means I have more time to read and post on here. I’m currently on an extended Spring Break, and my classes have all been moved online for the rest of the semester. I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.
