Down Among the Sticks and Bones was so good! It was creepy and spooky in all the right ways. Jack and Jill were so intriguing when we first met them in Every Heart a Doorway. And I loved getting to see their story and what was behind their door. It gave me the old school horror vibes that I didn’t know I needed. I also loved that this was sapphic! I wish that Jack and Alexis could have had a happy ending, but alas, it wouldn’t have been the same story. This is getting a four out of five stars.

Content warning for detailed

grooming of a child. It's not explicitly sexual, but there's suggestive descriptions of the relationship and hints towards a future romantic one.

3.5

Less complex than the first book, but for me a slightly more enjoyable read. It all evens out to a 3.5 for both books.
