This novella is dark, unsettling, and way more emotional than expected. It is a quick read with a heavy impact. It doesn’t scream at you, it just quietly messes with your head. Not for people who need everything explained, but perfect if you like eerie, thought-provoking stories. The grief is raw and haunting. Beautifully written and heart breaking.

This book gave me all the foggy, isolated farmhouse dread I wanted. I just needed a bit more from Myla to fully love it - more character development would’ve had me 100% hooked.

But if you like psychological thrillers that simmer, give this one a shot.

Atmosphere is insane. Gothic dread that stressed me out - it gets darker and more twisted with every book. Multiple POVs that actually work, and Alleva’s prose flows like sin. It’s brutal. Torture, possession, suicide mentions, body horror that made me flinch. Also bleak as hell. Not for cozy readers.

Beautiful, unhinged, worth all the emotional damage. Read all four if you want horror that haunts you and dread that creeps in and latches on.
