Great book until the rushed ending and not all plot points are explained. 
I found the 1908 parts much more enjoyable then present day. 
Some of the characters decisions didn’t match who they were in my opinion.

I loved the beginning of this book and how much mystery there was, it was truly hard to put down. But I feel like it faltered in the end, it felt rushed and mildly cheesy.. for as much time was spent enhancing the mystery, I feel the ending could have been more drawn out, and more satisfying. Overall though, it was a unique story, and a fun supernatural experience.

dark mysterious medium-paced

3.0

The “did that really happen?” mystery part of the story kept me invested. But I felt a few plot lines were left hanging and the last 1/4 of the book wrapped everything up a little toooooo neatly.
