A young governess arrives at Bly, a country home in Essex, England, to care for Miles and Flora, two precocious and pure children. But as ghostly visions take shape, the obsessively protective governess soon fears for the safety of her wards – only to wonder if these hauntings are a conjuring of her own imagination.

I need to be honest here and say that I’m very torn on this book, because on one side I really liked this book but on the other side I didn’t. But lets start this review and unpack this book and my opinions about this book. 

This book has some very good horror moments, but those moments are very rare at least in my opinion. And the time between those good horror moments is very long and that as good.

The writing style in this book could have been better, because the sentence structure in this book is very long. There are times were a sentence in this book can be close 200 words long, which in my opinion its too long for one single sentence.

However this book has a nice gothic vibe to it which I always love as you might know if you have read my previous reviews. And the battle between evil and innocence in this book is pretty okay even thou I didn’t like it quiet so much as I wanted because I felt like there was something missing in this aspect at least. 

The beginning of this book was very good in my opinion but the further I got into this book, I began to less and less enjoy it. 

The story here is okay, it reminded me of “The Haunting of Hill House” but written poorly. Which pretty much gives you a good summary of I think about this book. 

The majority of the characters in this book were pretty shallow. I just couldn’t bring myself to like the majority of characters in this book, thou I did like a lot the main character. There was something in the main character which really made me feel like me and the main character could easily be friends.

In my opinion this book is pretty overrated, because a lot of people say that this book is very good but after I read this one for myself I need to say that I have different opinions about it. I personally wouldn’t say that this book is “very good”, what I would say about this book is that it is pretty average.

This book had a very good and scary vibe to it, which really made me give this book some extra points for having. 

I Give This Book 3 / 5
