2.0

I wanted to enjoy this but it read like my high school written romances. It was contradictory and we were told everything. “And there’s a spark and they’re in love!” The climax goes so wildly rapidly it’s a crazy plot moment. I also couldn’t handle that grave robbing was okay until it was the death of someone they knew and then they buried the body. So hypocritical. It was a bit painful to read tbh. The bad guys

just never faced any sort of consequence which I know can happen but honestly? And Bernard was a walking contradiction. “He’s nice. But also a massive control freak. Until he’s not.”

Also very very gory in medical ways.

I definitely underestimated the horror in this books, there are some pretty gruesome scenes. It wasn't to much to keep me from enjoying this book though!

Fun YA read, however if you can’t really handle any gore/blood/medical settings (like me) it might not be the best book to read

This was cute, and I mostly really enjoyed it! But the ending was a bit of a letdown, in addition to the fact that this is apparently part of a series, not standalone.

What a great read! I love a book that melds murder, mystery, historic settings, and a little bit of romance. I really enjoyed this book, and I appreciated the fact that the author let Hazel be her own person in the first half of the book then leaning into the romance a bit. Will definitely read the second book.

Books with similar vibes I would recommend:
- Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalo
- Wrapped by Jennifer Bradbury
- Belladonna by Adalyn Grace

This is a fun, unique book I’d recommend! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is due to the fact that I found little character development. Past that, it’s a very interesting, well-written book.
