Yellow Jessamine by Caitlin Starling
5.0

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

“But she had not gotten to where she was by being meek, only paranoid. Only proud.”

This novella was really interesting and I would absolutely love more books in this universe? Realm? There were moments where I did feel lost, however, I had to remind myself there’s only so much you can keep in a novella. Additionally, I would have loved more development of the relationship of the two women, as this was marketed as an LGBTQ+ book and expected a little more in that aspect. All in all though, it was really solidly creepy and fantastic! I love a good creepy parasitic style garden as much as the next guy (probably?).
