I don't read a lot off horror, but I do read fantasy, so this book was right up my alley. It wasn't to predictable, although some plottwists didn't seem that twisty to me. I borrowed this book from the library so it had the smell of old perfume and dusty pages. There was also a suspicious stain. It fitted really well with the contents of the book since a lot of smells and suspicious fluids are mentioned. I loved it. This book was a quick read, with beautifull descriptions. I didn't like the epilogue, it made it more open ended and I don't like open endings so I'll pretend it doesn't excist. On that not this is what I want to say:
Poor Tyler Yang.

This book was absolutely delightful. The dynamic between Iris and her sisters was really sweet to read about while this book was simultaneously a little spooky and slightly descriptionally gross(in amazing ways but I wouldn't wanna eat while reading some of it.) This was a refreshingly different story like I've never seen before. The personalities of the characters were all very different and I didn't get any of them confused at any point.

 I really liked the occasional body horror popping up, but I am just not a contemporary mystery fan. Since most of the book focused on that, I got a bit bored. Reading about interesting facts about true crime, the Marie Antoinette syndrom, the artists Rubens and Pollock, or poison dart frogs (one of my favourite animals) helped me get through these parts. However, the last 70 pages had a nice fantastical twist. I just wish it had happened way sooner. Although the writing style and the characters feel very ya and almost everything is very predictable, there is at least no focus on some romantic sideplot.
