I have decided i do not like this style of book, it was written as a Gothic Mystery and I am just not into that sub genre.

You must not allow yourself to be consumed so thoroghly by death. It’s not selfish to live.

this book has a really intriguing premise: the gothic vibes, mysterious deaths, and Death as a character (mmc) drew me in at first 🌙🖤 
however i think some plot twists were predictable and the writing felt a bit too plain; i was hoping for more atmospheric and beautiful writing, but end up a bit disappointed 🥺

i also think there’s some missed opportunities with the character development, especially FMC signa’s struggle with societal expectations and her longing to belong or fit in; these themes had so much potential but didn’t feel fully explored 

and the romance part came a bit out of nowhere and didn’t make much sense to me; even though it’s interesting to see the type of relationship that this book depicts (which is between human and death), i think the amount of focus on it made it felt a bit forced and unbalanced, compared to everything else going on in the story
i didn’t enjoy the romance part at all sadly😔

overall it’s an ok read with a concept that interested me in the beginning ✨ but not as emotionally-rich as i hoped
its not a bad (or badly-written) read by all means, just not very memorable to me unfortunately🥹
