lizshayne 's review for:

A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee
2.0
challenging dark slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book is, in theory, my jam in the sense that it's creepy schools and hauntings and overeducated and deeply pretentious students (for whom I have a soft spot...for what may be obvious reasons). Dark academia is a vibe and I am here for it.

It's also not entirely my jam in the sense that I prefer my horror
to be real rather than the real horror was the friends we made along the way
.

It was one of those where the atmosphere was a good match and the story that the author was interested in telling...not so much.
