Grave Matter by Karina Halle
5.0
dark emotional mysterious

Okayyyy Karina does it again. I usually read fantasy and am not one to branch out but I love Karina's books so much and the dark psych aspect of this book just drew me in. Plus, mushrooms. I enjoyed this book a lot, it was jarring at times with the horror and gore, but didn't feel gratuitously overdone and was well balanced with some more realistic aspects. Books with any sort of modernity tend to turn me off, but I knew this was a more contemporary book going in so I was still able to enjoy the parts I came for which were the dark/science-y/spicy parts, and I was not disappointed in the slightest.
