The plot seemed perfect for the time of the year. The description alone has me looking forward to a dark, mysterious retelling from the perspective of a teenager ( so I was in for a dramatic narrative)
For a good chunk of the book the anticipation held my attention, as the book begins with short scenes flickering back and forth between the narrator's thoughts and past events.
However, the writing style leaves much to be desired. I wish the descriptions delved deeper . The constant sentence framing in terms of rhetorics or overly explained obvious actions get repetitive quite early on.. However, the underlying tone of eerieness would be interesting for the target demographic
