Unsettling is definitely the word I would use to describe this book.
It’s not horror in the sense of a slasher or the paranormal, but man the characters were all messed up. I felt like I wasn’t 100% sure what was going on at times, but it kept my attention enough to continue to the end.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the eARC.

"hope, i've come to learn, can be a noose."
where i end was unsettling in the way that gets right under your skin. aoileann is a weird, fucked up girl, but it's really no fault of her own. i loved seeing how she further devolved in order to get what she wanted. i loved the setting on the island and the folk horror vibes, overall such a nice, eerie read.

All I have to say is that this book never went where I was expecting it to, and I loved it! A must read!
