I hate this book so much, I love it. It has absolutely everything a good story needs: libraries, tea, lesbian witches, questionable choices and so many morally grey characters, you end up uncertain who you're even supposed to be rooting for - if any of them. It is exactly what I've come to expect from and love about Melissa Marr's writing: high in tension, full of characters who are a force of personality, and absolutely terrifying.
