My Dearest Darkest
by Kayla Cottingham
3.5
Where do i even start…
I want to say first and foremost that the story on itself was very interesting, i loved Selena and Finch together, they are absolutely lovely. I think Finch discovering her identity was very important and a good addition to the story.
HOWEVER, everything else about this book was just so.. cliché, it makes me feel sick. Especially the ending, i could predict almost every other sentence before it was spoken. “You don’t have to do this, i’ll hold them back, you need a shower, this is for calling me an idiot, i believe in you, oh no i’m gonna die but i have to help my girlfriend to use her superpowers” My GOD that was SO painful, if 15 year old me wrote a fight scene that is exactly what i would’ve written. How hard was it to come up with something slightly more original???
And three months later??? After they’ve seemingly broken every bone in their body they are all somehow jumping and cheering all together, getting accepted into colleges (of fucking course) And oh guess what! Selena looks at Kyra’s empty room, someone’s missing…
I shouldn’t have even read the ending because it was literally the most predictable thing i could ever imagine.
The things i love most about paranormal/ mystery books are the parts with investigations in them. Where the characters gather all the information they have together and come up with a plan.
In this book, all the fact were quite literally handed to them on a silver platter by the librarian. Besides that little 3 page quest of Selena and Simon going to the abandoned building on campus to see the conveniently written journals, there was absolutely nothing to investigate.
The story was interesting up until the point where it became painfully obvious that the villain was disney channel worthy.
Also what’s up with the stag? How was she connected to it? Where did it come from? Why did it have 8 eyes???
I want to say that this book kept me entertained, but i only finished it because i went too far to actually give it up. I wanted some good lesbian horror, but instead i got this low budget netflix show for 12 year olds.
