The beginning of the book was significantly more exciting than the end of the book. Abagail and Josiah were creepy and unnerving. I enjoyed the opening nursing room scenes with a mysterious old lady that the nurse had a peculiar relationship with. Then the nurse mysteriously passes out. Then it jumps back and forth between the past and the present. It was a very intriguing book that sucked you in at the beginning. I would have preferred a different ending and there to be more development in the present because after the initial scenes in the present. It went flat and then the plot of the past started to become more intense and develop more plot. I was unsure how I felt about the book after I read it.
