racheyreads 's review for:

Every Exquisite Thing by Laura Steven
5.0
adventurous dark emotional hopeful inspiring mysterious reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Everything I could have hoped for from a retelling of 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'. It was dark, it was moody, the characters were elusive and questionable, plus the added intrigue and mystery surrounding the school. I devoured this book and have definitely added Laura Steven to my list of authors to watch.
