It got too boring. There was a lack of plots and too much internal dialouge with descriptions :(

The synopsis and cover had me so invested and intrigued to pick it up but maybe I'm falling out of the range for YA. I'm always down for gay/sapphic stories especially if they're horrorish sounding but this was just meh to me?

I tried the devouring grey a long time ago and it was a DNF so idk.

i really really wanted to love this. it has a sexy premise, i loved the “all of us villains” duology, and it’s sapphic! what more could a girl want! and yet i was still left wanting
