Review:
This book is set post-war in England, and it is literally a mind twister!
Jane after thinking about it a while she compiled a list of suitors, she decided that she wanted to get married so that she would not feel like a burden on her guardians. They have taken her in after her parents perished when she was a child, so while her guardians are moving and wanting to start anew she wants to get married and stay in the area. Jane decides to talk to Augustine and arrange a business type of marriage. She would do the books for his practice and he would marry her, they wouldn't stay together as he would stay at his family home and she would stay at the surgery in town. After careful consideration, Augustine agreed hesitantly. As they were married and they made the travel to the family estate she was supposed to go back to the practice on their wedding night and he was supposed to stay but when he sent her back to town there was a bad storm that sent her back to the family estate. The family estate aka Lindridge Hall is not in an exact living status, it is kind of in ruins in a manner of speaking. Augustine agreed to let her stay the night and the first night was fine but then on the second night because she couldn't get to town yet because of the roads creepy things started happening in the house ghost, apparitions of creepy creatures started giving her nightmares or that's what Augustine told her. However, the truth was much more sinister! Especially when Augustine's friends come over to congratulate the couple, Augustine leaves the house leaving Jane to keep them entertained and that's when all the secrets start to come out. Is Jane supposed to believe everything their friends say? Is Magic Real? What really happened to the ghost or apparitions that are appearing in the house? What other secrets about Lindridge Hall and Augustine's history is he keeping from her?
I still do not know what I truly think of this novel. This is one of the books, that even after you finish it you are still thinking about it even a day later. Now, that is not a negative thing per se but it definitely messes with your mind! If you love horror or gothic horror books then this should definitely be your next read! I definitely recommend it! Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for the extraordinary opportunity to read and review this one!
