There is no doubt Ava Reid has a unique writing style. I’m not so sure this story was her best execution. It was very predictable, and I’m not sure translates well to audiobook. I was very confused as to what was happening and why for the first 35% of this book. I liked Juniper and Thorn better.

This book was nothing like I expected. There is SO MUCH going on here. It’s a romance but also not. It’s a spooky gothic fantasy fairytale but also not. The themes it explores has me absolutely floored.

Here’s what to expect:

Loved! Some things never got tied up, like the boy from the library. What was the point of the pink pills? And I think the ending was a bit anticlimactic - I was anticipating a more harrowing series of events. Still thoroughly enjoyed reading this. The words written were strung together beautifully.
