Helpful Score: 4

I read this book in one sitting. Intricately, deftly plotted, it was IMPOSSIBLE to put down! And such a Gothic, spooky atmosphere, too! Parts of it genuinely gave me the creeps. I just adored it! There were so many layers to the plot and it all just fit together so perfectly! And I loved the novel-within-the-novel, as well as Charlotte's diary. And I liked the twin aspect as well! I am very anxious to read this talented author's other books, but as they are rather emotionally draining, I think I will space them out a little bit.
As this was a pretty dark book, I am not sure that it would have a very universal appeal, but I certainly loved it! For a longer book, with such complicated elements, the level of suspense and tension just made it an absolutely thrilling read!
