First, before my review here's a blurb from Goodreads on what it is actually about:
--
Eleanor Zarrin has been estranged from her wild family for years. When she flees boarding school after a horrifying incident, she goes to the only place she thinks is safe: the home she left behind. But when she gets there, she struggles to fit in with her monstrous relatives, who prowl the woods around the family estate and read fortunes in the guts of birds.
Eleanor finds herself desperately trying to hold the family together — in order to save them all, Eleanor must learn to embrace her family of monsters and tame the darkness inside her.
Exquisitely terrifying, beautiful, and strange, this fierce gothic fantasy will sink its teeth into you and never let go
--
I surprisingly really enjoyed this book. I love fantasy but I just didn't really initially know what to expect from this book. I think if you like suspense and mystery and spookiness, this book is great. I loved Eleanor's quest on trying to hold her family together. It had a theme surrounding family and acceptance, and I think it's really important for people to read about it. Overall, I thought it was pretty interesting and good!
