Thank you Wednesday Books and NetGalley for the gifted review copy!
A dark, haunting, and beautifully written story that delves into themes of grief, loss, and the supernatural. The protagonist, Estela, grapples with deep depression after her parents' death, and the cursed castle's dark secrets add to the story's gothic atmosphere. The unexpected twist involving Sebastián and the development of his relationship with Estela are particularly compelling. The book's blend of horror, romance, and gothic elements, set in the mysterious town of Oscuro, creates a suspenseful and emotional narrative that lingers long after reading.
