While it lacks the depth of historical gothic traditions, it compensates with sharp pacing and clear moral stakes. The protagonist’s struggle against infection and betrayal provides consistent tension. This book is best suited for readers who prefer action-driven supernatural thrillers with a focus on gritty realism rather than romantic entanglements.
