I absolutely did not enjoy this book. There were so many interesting aspects that didn't get developed, so many obnoxious details, such weird threads picked up and dropped several times. I can definitely see that this is a book someone else would love, and I respect that! 
I am going to bitch about a few things that really bothered me, especially since this book had authenticity readers:
- First editions of The Haunting of Hill House are selling for over four thousand dollars, you're not going to find that in a used bookstore
- Alex's family financial situation was dire, she was a scholarship student, her mom worked two jobs, she was buried in some out of the way cemetery, but she was qualifying for Olympic climbing and had summitted Everest TWICE at 17??? No!!! Tell me you've never been working class in your life lmfao.
- A closing shift librarian worth their salt isn't going to miss a student hiding in the stacks!! Shut up!!!
Anyway. Y'all go love your dark academia in peace.
