I wanted more romance and less pointless ghost fighting, we only get crumbs of sapphic romance and selfish Bea walks away without a second glance at the mess she made???
Not impressed, which is a shame, it was promising

I enjoyed the switching perspectives and appreciared the fact that both Emmeline and Annie had very distinct voices that made it clear who we were following even without the chapter indicators. I liked watching Annie grow into her magic, become stronger willed and more morally questionable.
I hated Bea with a passion, she was extremely selfish and the cause of so many of the problems and yet she wasnt willing to claim responsibility for any of it. She was constantly blaming everyone else for her problems and the way she acted. I did feel a little kinder towards her at the end, but I will stand by the fact that everything is Bea's fault.
I also found learning about the history of Cross House and what Cilla did to the orphans and how it shaped them to be both interesting and horrifying, and I am so glad that we got to see Emmeline put an end to that.
And my favourite character died, which is just the standard really, so am I surprised?? No, but I had hoped for better for them, especially after all the signs of them dying were there, but I had hoped that the cards were wrong.
Wild and Wicked Things is a bloody tale of magic, murder and intrigue, and I enjoyed it thoroughly !!!

I spent more than 65% of the book hoping Bea would just bite it…. She’s manipulative and self absorbed and I’ve spent want too much of my time dealing with those types in real life to handle them in my fiction too. I don’t particularly enjoy the useless lesbian fumbles after, and swallows every spoonful of poison from the pretty straight girl because maybe she might love her back one day trope… I need my MCs to get some boundaries and self respect and to boot Bea out the door…. And that took way too long to happen. I mean the pacing was a complete nightmare the the tone of it was just darker than dark and not really for any reason other than to be really dramatic made it feel like a gothic telenova.
