A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid
4.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes


This reminded me a lot of a mix between Rebecca and Wuthering Heights, with a bit of New Orleans life thrown in. Rebecca because there’s a mysterious woman that no one talks about, Wuthering Heights because there’s a decrepit old house, and nola because their world is about to be lost to water. 
I did enjoy it and I really loved Effy and Preston (he’s totally the Tenth Doctor forever in my cast).
