“I will love you to ruination.”

I don’t think I will ever forget this quote. Generally, this book has left a very strong impression on me that trying to find words is hard. “A Study In Drowning” is one of my top books for this year. I am looking extremely forward to the sequel.

A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid is a good fit for readers who are interested in a dark and atmospheric story that explores themes of mystery, fantasy, and the blurred lines between reality and myth.

When architecture student Effy Sayre wins a contest to design her favorite author's family manor, she finds herself on a remote, crumbling estate filled with disturbing secrets. With the help of a rival student, Effy must unravel a decades-old mystery, but there are dark forces, both mortal and magical, conspiring against them, and the truth may bring them both to ruin.
