The ending was layered, a bit surprising, and intriguing.
I may not revisit this book, but I’d happily read more work from this author!

As a gothic horror novel, Jane Lawrence comes in fast with explicit gore. Elements of the magic system involve having something affecting a person's organs/moving inside their body, whichbabybasil's review against another edition

Overall, I adored this book. It was the right amount of tense and unnerving that I really ended up adoring it. One of the main twists was a bit “oh ok,” but it didn’t take away how much I loved the book.
Graphic: Murder and Medical content
Moderate: Gore and Body horror
