The girls have never met their aunt and have learned little about her through their mother. Julia and Valentina leave their suburban home to begin their new life in London, leaving by Highgate Cemetery in London. Little do the twins know, their neighbours entangle them into their lives.
My Thoughts: Overall, I thought this book was a good and intriguing read. For the most part, it was an interesting storyline to keep me going to find out how things developed and ended. I thought the second half of the book started to become more predictable and there weren’t any surprises to deter my expectations. The characters living in the apartment building were all fascinating with their own stories melted into the larger plot.
