The Ancestor by Danielle Trussoni
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this deeply weird book. 💜 I expected a modern gothic haunted castle story, and it has that, but then things go much further into 😳😳 territory. It doesn’t all totally make a ton of sense (her poor husband?!? the kidnapped girl?!?) but the author’s tone is so steady I just flowed along with all the delicious absurdity. And I are one of these cupcakes for breakfast.
