The ending for this book blew me out of the water. I had my issues with it in the middle, which I will explain later, but the ending was just too good. This was a Victorian Horror Movie and a Love Story mashed together in the most beautiful way. It has dark academia, dark romance, Victorian-era, Sleepy Hollow, and crazy-witch vibes. If you're a spooky person all year round like I am, YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK.

Okay, I had issues within the three-some relationship. Don't get me wrong, I love a threesome. However, the amount of jealousy between these three really started to get on my nerves. It's mentioned often, and whenever I read the word "jealous," I just wanted to strike it out, and I think it would have made the overall book better. But I understand that in real life, that any threesome has it's jealously issues to overcome. By the end of the book, it seems that they have mostly laid these feelings to rest.

The ending with the references to Dorian Gray, Dracula, Heathcliff, and Frankenstein, I loved it, and it made the ending really memorable.
