The Uninvited

A more melancholy and, well, complicated read than [b:In the Shadow of Blackbirds 13112915 In the Shadow of Blackbirds Cat Winters https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348721608s/13112915.jpg 18286614], while still sharing so much with its predecessor as to make the entire story seem eerily familiar. Something about it seems less fully realized than Blackbirds, and I never felt I understood the protagonist anywhere near as well, and yet there's still a lot to love here. It's a slow burn that didn't really grab me until nearly the end, but when it did, it sunk its hooks in deep.
