Sadly, I expected to love this more than I did.

The concept is wonderful but the execution was a bit lacking. I really enjoyed the sense of mystery and the setting, the lore and the ghosts. I did guess the heir very very early on so my enjoyment was slightly ruined but more than that it was frustrating to not have any of the side characters developed or explored. While I liked getting to know our two main characters the author completely skimmed on the rest. Posey was such an intriguing character but the only thing we really know about her is that she's bubbly and loves ghosts. You would think we'd know more about the mc's roommate? I couldn't distinguish between the other characters in their gang for the life of me and even with the ghosts, the backstories came far too late and were far too little. This made all the small conflicts and interactions between the characters seem either off or just meaningless because there was barely any exploration of their relationships or who the other characters were.

The romance was okay, felt a bit rushed honestly so I was kinda meh about it.

I still don't know if some of the plot points have completely made sense in my head but overall it was an atmospheric read and an audiobook that I didn't mind playing in the background.
