A sapphic romance with teeth!
Dark and mesmerizing, this story of female anger and empowerment will have you laughing, crying and railing against the oppressor. I can’t get over how powerful it is and how beautifully it is told.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my free copy. These opinions are my own.

This is a simple, quick read. The characters are quirky, the story interesting and the way everything develops very accessible.

Carvell College of Arts was forced to close its doors ten years ago when four students died at the North Tower on campus. A decade later, Carvell is reopening, and Lottie, whose friend died on campus, is determined to get to the bottom of the story. However, her roommate, Alice, ends up performing a soul-splitting ritual and the North Tower ends up claiming another victim.
Will Lottie be able to figure out the truth before another victim turns up? What will happen to Alice now that she has performed this ancient ritual?
Once I started this book, I literally did not want to put it down. I really enjoyed the banter and flirting between Alice and Lottie and found myself giggling or smiling while reading. There were a lot of twists and turns and I was loving the ride the entire time. I highly recommend this book!
Thank you, Laura Steven and NetGalley for the free eARC!
