A fairly standard haunted Gothic, but a good one nonetheless.

This follows a traditional gothic structure, but does an unusually good job with some of the supernatural elements. I liked the way Bruce explained the girls鈥� talents, both how they were able to use them and what the cost was.

Clara is a good adversary, mostly because you can see why she became what she was even if you still can鈥檛 excuse any of it. To that end, I really appreciated the way this book ended, going a route that many authors shy away from but that is almost always the right call.

Violet is a particularly well drawn character in that she鈥檚 immensely comforting yet somehow also creepy, and that fits perfectly with who she is and what she can do.

Though this isn鈥檛 the eeriest or most atmospheric of Gothic novels, I thought the sense of place was well-rendered and the pacing satisfyingly done.
