Man this book was SO MUCH CREEPIER than I expected. But good creepy. Like a fairy tale horror that keeps you on your toes and questioning everything that happens.

I loooove this take on the 12 dancing princesses, it has really cool twists and even though I somewhat predicted what would happen I was still surprised over and over. And as always, I love a happy ending 😭💖

Hands down the best read of the year!

This book is so so good. It's so dark and twisty but so good. Very much reminds me of The haunting of hill house vibes.

This was a solid enjoyable spooky read! I liked the unreliable narrator, atmosphere, and premise. The romance fell a bit flat for me, though. This book isn’t ground-breaking or incredible, but it was fun
