An average read. I’m a little disappointed by this one; it was definitely a read that focused more on the atmosphere than having an original plot. Did enjoy the witchy/Practical Magic vibes though.

mary_do_12's review against another edition

i thought i needed to give this book time but i’m on page 143 and this shit is boring asf. i have not witnessed a single relationship between any of the characters that caught me, the main characters just started to finally talk to each other (i thought you had no social skills until now) and even though there is this huge mystery going on, i couldn’t care less about it. did dear augustus von salzus kill lily? well, who cares. i don’t. i’m not gonna force myself to read the rest of this.
