My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book surprised me in that it is unlike the creepy gothic ghostly books this author has written before. This reads more like a romance novel with a mysterious handsome hero. There were so many mentions of Bradbury's The Illustrated Man, which is the nickname they've given Dominic, the main male character, that I had to put this book down and read Bradbury first. It's not necessary as the author provides a brief description of the classic, but I'm glad I read Bradbury for a deeper understanding of the plot. I was really enjoying the book and the relationship between Brynn and Dominic, but as I closer and closer to the end of the book I still had so many questions. Where does the Haunting come in, what's up with Alice, and room#5, etc? Then, bam, a plot twist that explains everything!
While I do prefer the author's more creepy books, this one was still enjoyable. Thank you to Netgalley, Lake Union Publishing, and of course Wendy Webb for the opportunity to read and review this book. I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The views and opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
