Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 stars, rounded up.

This book weaves stories within stories and a slow burn romance to die for. Something that surprised me about this book, was the gore. I love good body horror, and this book has it in settings that jar you from folkloric storytelling. It’s startling, at first, and nauseating. It makes this book have more depth than I originally expected it to.
Books that seem to focus primarily on the journey from one place to the other tend to drag on. At times, it felt like the book could have simply been shorter. However, these instances did make room for more of the slow burn romance. It’s a double-edged sword. I can’t wait to read more from Ava Reid.
