This is a very good book. Especially considering that i was written 10 years ago. It was exactly my level of creepy. Not scary. I cannot tolerate scary. The characters are great, it is so very engaging, good dialogues, supernatural, witchy, dark academia, perfect for a busy fall read for people who do not want to be scared but do not want to feel left out either. Would recommand. I do not think that the ending is very strong. (But I guess it’s okay considering that it is a first in a series.)

Heavily features ghosts, spirits, a scene of something akin to possession, and a scene of finding the dead body of a teenager in a severe state of decomposition

This book exceeded my expectations (and I already had high ones)!! The characters are so loveable and so so so deep!! You know it is good writing when it makes them seem real. I can't decide which one is my favorite, everyone has parts I like about them or relate to. Also love the vibe I've felt while reading it, imagined 300 Fox Way as a cozy whimsi gothic home!! Still, I feel like there is something I've missed while reading, like I didn't fully understand what is happening. This is the only reason I rate this book 4,5 stars instead of 5.

i really enjoyed the first book in the series! took a good while for me to properly get into, as there’s a lot of world + character building and it’s hard to grasp and appreciate why it’s all so important until you get to when the main group of characters meet. but once they do, the story flows extremely easily from there. blue, gansey, ronan, adam and noah have such a good dynamic that’s so easy to read and follow. truly fell in love and really cared about their story and their journey. really well written and i cant wait to start on the rest of the series. 

would definitely recommend, but it just takes a while before it gets properly into it. be patient!
