One Dark Window.

One Dark Window is that book that makes you remember why you love gothic storytelling in the first place, it's dark and sinister at times, beautifully written with elements of life, death and everything in between. With a world that is beautiful, lush, and so full of potential and possibilities absolutely anything could happen.

A virus that affected and caused the deaths of too many to count, Elspeth only survived because of who her father was and the choices he made in not turning her in, had she been anyone she would have found herself in the dreaded dungeon and we all know the dungeon is not where you want to be.

Elspeth has not had an easy life, with her father shipping her off to live with relatives after she's recovered from the virus, she also has to live with the monster that now seems to share her mind, granted he comes in handy at times but still, the mind sharing is a tad bit terrifying to me.

The only way for Elspeth to gain her freedom from the monster is to collect 12 providence cards that only she seems to be able to see let alone find.

There is no shortage of obstacles for Elspeth to overcome, from trying to save her cousin (who doesn't always want to be saved) to falling for her almost enemy, to trying to find those cards, she has her hands full and following along as she tries to figure it all out and not loose herself (literally) to the monster in her mind is a rollercoaster of emotions that had more twists and turns than I can count.

The sheer beauty of the writing in this book will draw you in and keep you there the characters begin to feel like people you know and care for, wanting the best for them while having to let them make their own mistakes. I loved every moment of this book and can't wait to see what happens next.
