This was slow in the beginning and switching back and forth between Selena and Finch was a little confusing for me to follow. But for a YA horror it was creepy and unsettling and really great!

Such a precious queer dark occult academia story! A little rough around the edges as it's a debut novel, but good enough that I'll read other books written by the same author to get my queer dark literature fix!

Good bones to the story but could've easily added another 200 pages to it. Overall it felt too short and not enough detail was put into it.

I binge read this book in half a day. It wasn’t the best I’ve ever read, but I was in the mood for a dark, rainy book and this worked!
I feel like characters were one-dimensional and not developed very well. They had their one key personality trait and that defined their character.
The plot direction was super predictable, so sometimes it felt like I was reading and waiting for the characters to catch up.
