I didn't like the end. It felt like an odd colour patch sewn on a new dress. I could have understood (not forgiven) her choice if she planned to publish a second book, but in my opinion the book worth plummeted because of it.

Tyler's death was the most emotional moment of the book, his choice of not being seen by Grey something complex that left a bad aftertaste in my mouth (I'm all for good endings) but understandable and even admirable. Not nice, but a good choice. The epilogue felt like the publisher compelled the author to write a "happy ending" for Tyler too, or something like that. Why would Iris chose to go back to him after he refused the first time? Why would he refuse to go back with the love of his life but would do so with Iris? I could have understood so if framed as giving him a second chance, but it felt like Iris lost all her character development in a moment

This book was hauntingly beautiful in a way that made me want to read it again when I finished it to look for anything I had missed. I was very impressed with the vocabulary of the author and her ability to describe characters and setting as if we were stepping into the story.

I thought it would be more black magic/fairy type vibe but it ended up being quite gory and very dark. Pushed me out of my comfort zone for sure, but it was good enough I was compelled to keep reading till the end.
