'Vivid and compelling' Rosamund Lupton, bestselling author of Three Hours It was like something out of a fairytale... The grieving widower. The motherless daughters. A beautiful house in the woods.

Had high hopes for this one because it has been compared to The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware a lot (one of my fav books) but it was such a disappointing read.
While some parts did feel very creepy/spooky other parts felt like they didn't have any depth.
This had soo much potential to have all the spooky atmospheric feels coz its set in Norway and with all the various legends but I feel like by the way it was done I didn't feel any of those atmospheric vibes.
But I did enjoy the part with the folk tales and the sad lady coz those parts genuinely creeped me out, I had just put the book down and was getting ready to sleep and I suddenly saw the description of the sad lady in my mind and had to keep d light on for a bit lol.
I also liked the part abt how the building of this house was affecting nature and the things that kept happening, coz those parts were described really well.
