For me, this book was so close to greatness only to end up as kinda lukewarm. The premise is beautiful; I love gothic tales, ghosts, and romance. I just feel like the book needed to be way more descriptive. I feel like it smoothed over so many details and feelings that could’ve made the book so much better (for me). Also, the basic YA characterization was not my favorite, but I guess it fits the victorian times to have a clueless and flustered young woman as a main character. I gave the book 4 stars  because part of the plot twist took me by surprise and I wanted to reread the book from the pov of knowing the ending.
