2.0

Not the best book I’ve read from the dark academia genre. Generally well written but the characters felt a bit flat and the dialogue lapses into cliche at times. That said, the plot had enough twists and turns to keep me compelled enough to finish it.

Dark, mysterious, the occult. Really cool book. A bonus for me as I worked in the library. Definitely great for fans of dark academia.
