dark mysterious fast-paced

i knew i wasn't a fan of classical literature language but here i am reading this book. it wasn't overwhelmingly classical but the story was very quick and interesting to follow. points deducted because it mildly felt like anti-gay since carmilla was the one initiating all the flirting etc. but the other girly kept saying no and being so shocked and also because carmilla was essentially the villain/vampire.
dark informative slow-paced

this was really moving and i've never heard of the court cases of the ottowa girls so it was really interesting to hear about. my only complaint is that this was realllly melodramatic and there was excessive descriptions of people's appearances which i get is supposed to set the scene of how horrible the poisoning was but it was too much.
informative

this was really informative and i learned a lot about this specific case. very factually presented
adventurous fast-paced

oh i can't wait to read the third book with all four of them
dark emotional tense fast-paced

ayoola pissed me off but this was beautifully written and i could feel everything korede could
adventurous emotional medium-paced

this was really good, i enjoyed the departure from the usual greek/roman gods and it felt fresh bc the plot isn't being stretched to a breaking point
fast-paced

i enjoy these little snippets into side quest stories

i vaguely remember reading this when i was younger but now want to read more riordan bc of the new series
emotional

so like i liked it but the miscommunication continued to frustrate me. also how can you look over the concept that your fiance left you at the altar???
informative reflective

i thoroughly enjoyed reading about all the cases he covered in the book
