After reading Setterfield's @Bellman & Black, I was excited to read this novel. I was so completely disappointed. I HATE Flowers in the Attic type crap, and I nearly stopped reading. I have no idea why the trope of incest is still used, but it's annoying and so pedestrian.
The Gothic ghost-story is what I stayed for, but, then again, anti-climactic. The whole twin thing started to grate on my nerves, I get that it was a big part of the book, but the main character doesn't have to mention it every single time she narrates.

Not at all my cup of tea. I’m not a fan of flowers to start and the book was slow all the way through. If it weren’t for owlcrate I’m would have never read this book but I guess that’s the fun of the box to open up your horizons and make you read different things.

I thought each of the characters lacked in ...everything really and the story didn’t “blossom” shall I say until the last very few chapters. So what do we get the rest of the book....a whole lot of nothin ...

Points for a pretty cover though
