It was a whole emotional journey. Iain Lawrence made the characters so good. He did show all the points of greed, misery, jealousy and intrigue. It was amazing. there was a whole shocking plot twist at the end. HE HAD A TWIN BROTHER. Thats actually crazy. it shocked the shit out of me. It started out really good. I was very annoyed with Tom because of how selfish and annoting he was. he wanted to leave midge and escale by himself. It was seriously annoying reading that part. But in the end he grew an emotional attachment to midge. that i love ❤️.

Iain Lawrence writes creepy historical novels, and this book definitely fits. It's not super-natural scary, but real-life scary, which is almost worse. It's a fun read.
