This book is not as beautiful as its cover. It is gritty and grotesque in the best possible ways. It is so atmospheric that I felt like I was walking the dark streets of Edinburgh with Hazel. I could almost feel the grime. The story is slow to start, but the descriptions of the setting really steal the show in the first half. The second half of the book definitely pick up. I couldn't put the book down at that point. The story becomes twisted and surprising. It does take a little bit of suspended disbelief, but the plot is satisfying. The ending is another thing, but there is a second book. I had to pick up the sequel immediately.

An addicting story in a familiar-to-me setting. Love a FMC that is science minded. 

The dialogue/language reads more “I’m from England” than “I’m Scottish” which was somewhat off putting and distracting. You can tell it’s written by an American. Not saying it’s BAD, but if you’re intimately familiar with Edinburgh or Scotland it might be rough. 

That said, it was so delightful, captivating, and could easily be a stand-alone.

I liked this book so much more than I thought I was going to! It’s a love story, but a very peculiar, dark one. Big fan!
