Wowwww this book was incredibly creepy! I loved the descriptions and atmosphere so, so much. Haunted old mansion, an orphan with nowhere else to go, and a weird family. I love the way the author set up Margot's character, situation, and motivation. She's proactive and sticks up for herself, while also (very understandably) doing her best not to ruin her only choice for a living situation. Her grief at the event that left her orphaned was also poignant, while not overshadowing the mystery aspects of the story. Overall, this was a great, haunting read!
