5.0

when I picked up this book I didn't know what to expect but now that I read it, I'm so happy I decided to pick it up it was soo good !!
the mystery !!! the creepy writing and atmosphere !! it was exactly my type of book.

Della was my favorite, I love the cold-hearted witch trope.
Natasha was ok, I'm guessing that she was not meant to be likable in a traditional scene, but that's ok even when she jumps to a conclusion with very little evidence

like for example calling the police on Miles

but I love their dynamic! even if the romance felt a little fast-paced but after reflecting on it, it makes scenes with everything that's happened that emotions would be running fast.

and the plot twists!! admittedly it felt a little out of nowhere but if I were to reread it then the clue would most likely be more obvious probably. The ending overall was amazing and

the Bloody Millers' death was wonderful, love that his victims got their revenge and in such a symbolic way too!!

Overall a 10/10 book would recommend !!
