This book is a slow burn in terms of romance but the plot itself moves quickly. If you’re looking to read this for the romance only, don’t. You will be disappointed. The love story shared between the two main characters is a sub-plot and not a main focus in this book.

This book is reported to be dark and "funny". Dark yes, funny much less so. The animal murder is resolved in a way that makes it less traumatic to the reader, but at the time it happens it's very dark and disturbing. As an animal lover, I had to stop reading the book for the day after that scene.
I get where the author was coming from with the message about female anger and how it needs to be accepted and we need to change the sexism in the world. I really wish the author had stayed away from harming animals. I'm a person who prefers human death to animal death in fiction.
The book was decent. I liked the premise but the execution wasn't as good as possible.

This book was amazing and great for me! If you like some mystery a bit psychology and witchy stuff you will love this book! I’m usuall not into this genre but this book is an exception.
Also if you like the Netflix show ‚Wednesday‘ this is a great book to read because the characters and vibes are similar.

I admire Laura Steven for always teaching her readers something about feminism without being obvious about it. Like, feminism is part of every day life.
This book was interesting, eerie and funny.
The title mismanaged my expectations. I expected the society to be a major part of the story, so I kept waiting for the actual story about the society to begin, and then suddenly it had already almost finished.
So, boys and girls, don't expect this book to be about a society, because it isn't, despite the title.
