4 stars
Naïve and curiously
needy Mabel becomes college roommates with the rich and glamorous Ev and is
invited to stay with her large and creepy family during a summer at Winloch,
the family’s Vermont getaway. The dark
and twisty plot resembles a gothic romance and keeps the reader guessing until
the end. Although I felt annoyed and
somewhat repulsed by Mabel’s strange obsession with the Winslow family, I was
completely entranced and recommend it as a great summer read. I received this book through NetGalley in
exchange for an honest review.
