This was a dark, twisted, but entertaining read. I think it would have been perfect for October. 

(ngl I was a bit freaked out at times cause ghouls, but I also scare easily)

Olivia is non-verbal, which isn't something I've seen in a book before. And as someone who is not non-verbal, I can't speak for the rep. But I am glad there was someone who could talk to Olivia through sign, though I'm curious to know how Edgar learned how to sign in the first place.

Matthew reminded me of Caelum from RBC, cause of his grumpiness lol 

The one thing that bothered me in this book was the ending. While I did enjoy Olivia's character for most of the book, the things that happen at the very end didn't make any sense considering how Olivia has literally zero experience wielding a knife against someone. It was a bit unrealistic.

lets not forget about the "parsnips seasoned with salt" ...

Olivia finally finding a home and a family was a nice though, especially considering how she was treated by Merilance before.

Overall, a good read, but not something that completely wowed me or a book I would pick up again.
