Ehhhhhh.. I was interested the whole time but now that I think about it her whole point was to find these bones but at no point did she actually search for them. And then her roommates seem interesting and they supposedly develop a friendship but you never actually get to see it. The ending was too much gaslighting and just was too far to feel like I would ever forgive Gray. just eh
Poorly written fantasy/romance with average but disturbing smut. All extremely tired tropes without any subtleties of characters or interesting plot. The murder mystery element was so stapled together it didn’t seem like the characters even cared about it. I knew from the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book that I would really struggle with this one. My thoughts on the MMC Grey/Thorn is that how can someone so revolting and evil also be SO bland?? He intensely crossed boundaries like taking off her pants while she was sleeping. The one thing I did like was the forest magic, but overall, no.

This was my first book for the spooky season and I did enjoy it. I like the story of witches and vessels, and the end was quite the cliffhanger. Grabbed the second right away to continue on with the Coven of Bones. (Also love the different lines and powers each line of witches has).
I have conflicted feelings about this one. There were plot holes everywhere, inconsistent characterization, cumbersome writing, etc, but I still enjoyed parts of it. It felt like the book was written so that particular scenes could be acted out, which isn't good. I'm not sure if I'll read the second book, maybe if I find it used somewhere.
