I found the premise of this very interesting, but reading it was much more slow-going than I anticipated. I ended up putting it down and forgetting about it. I won't be going back to it.

Breathtaking cover. Beautiful and heart felt story

Unfortunately, I DNFed this book in the first 15%. It just didn't grab my attention.

Martha Mary sees ghosts. She hopes to escape this phenomenon, plus her mother and her crazy sister when she moves to college.

She has a sister which is unhinged and gets "caught", in other words. Her sister spends some time in an asylum. To me, Martha Mary is the one unhinged and doesn't get caught. This is just my opinion about Martha Mary. As you read this story, it becomes evident what I am hinting at! (Trying not to give a spoiler away!)

I have a love-hate relationship with this book. Half the time I was unsure exactly what was going on. I think I expected more to happen. It was the peculiarities in this tale which kept me reading. And by peculiarities, you will need to read it to see! I also had a hard time developing an affinity for any of the characters. Just didn't find any of them appealing.

I received this novel from Netgalley for a honest review.

I did not finish this story as I did not engage with the story on any level.

Thank you form the opportunity to early read, however, this book hand I are not connecting.

Thank you so much for the ARC of this interesting book.

Martha has been able to see dead people since she was a child, now she’s leaving her hometown (and, she hopes, her ghosts) far behind. But as soon as she settles into her new apartment , she sees a young woman standing under her window, a woman who’s been missing since the previous winter. The woman is obviously dead, her hair coated in ice on a warm August day. All her life, Martha has ignored the silent pleading of the ghost for help, but something about this young woman strikes a chord in her, and she begins to follow her…. This is an amazing literate Gothic tale of madness and murder. Highly recommended
