Read for the:
🖤 Lovecraftian horror
🖤 Obsession
🖤 Sapphic romance
🖤 Centuries-old secrets
🖤 Feminine rage
🖤 Multi-POV
🖤 Boarding school
🖤 Dark impulses
I loved both of the FMCs, Holland and Evie. Evie's history is so interesting and I loved how the mysteries played out. All of the reveals were pretty satisfying and I found myself thinking about the horror and mystery aspects long after I finished reading. I truly love horror lead by young female characters, and this new novel is a great addition to the genre.
Thank you to the publisher for the advanced copy.
