Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

After reading Don't Let the Forest In, I was super excited for what Drews came up with in their sophomore book, and they didn't disappoint. This was a ride for sure. I love gothic, botanical horror/mystery. Drews has a way with flowery prose that just builds the creepy atmosphere, permeating every part of the story. I wish that there was more explored in Laurie and Evander's relationship though. I feel like it went from dislike/mistrust to codependency in 0.5 seconds and while I understand based on the ending, I just wish more had been built between them. Overall, it was a great YA gothic horror, with stunning illustrations and a unique plot.
