Overall, a strongly gothic novel with a strong dash of horror.
I enjoy Gothic but I dislike horror and for me personally, it trended too much toward horror and tragedy. It's a very heavy, intense read, and there is quite a bit of surgical gore involved with Graham's doctoring career.
One thing I did appreciate was the message about superstition and I did like the very appropriate Christian message. I also liked both lead characters and found Colin to be a real heartbreaker with his health conditions and issues.
Overall, a promising novel that was disappointing to me simply because it's not my favorite type of story.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for a free reading copy. A favorable review was not required.
