i loved this book. i loved the characters and the deep backstories and all of the tragedy/trauma they went through and got out from the other side. a beautiful gothic romance and adventure that had me so so hooked. thank you net galley for the ARC. one of my favorite reads of 2023.

Fun for a short book. I enjoyed the concept and characters, with exception to the dad. I think it would have been better if the story was longer, or if there was an epilogue to tie up in a nice bow. Overall I liked it but the ending left me wanting.

I think Skyla did a wonderful job with her debut novel, and while I think many people will enjoy it...it was just a little too weird for me.
This is a YA romance murder mystery with supernatural elements. The characters are endearing, and you can't help but root f9r them in every way. At first, I found Wil annoying but quickly grew on me. She is determined and feisty, and more female characters need to be strong like her. Elwood is sweet and dorky and so misunderstood. His father is the absolute worst, and this triggers a savior complex inside me because all I want is to save him.
The ending is weird but very bittersweet. Overall, I can appreciate the work and imagination that went into this book and I know lots of people will love it. I just wasn't one of them.
