I read this at the absolute best time.
It's been a while since I've been this captivated by a book. The spooky, eerie atmosphere sucked me in from the first page.
August and Emery were precious. It's not a secret that I fall for childhood friends to lovers every time. And I fell HARD. I wish there was more page time dedicated to their relationship towards the end, though. The epilogue came real fast and sudden. It was really jarring to come from an intense ending to a HEA epilogue
I will say Young is a genius by adding other townsfolk points of view. It added so much more depth and intrigue to the story. It was the perfect touch. Adrienne Young's writing is just... I don't have words for how gorgeous it is. This is the first book I've read from Young, but I definitely will read more now.
