Ivory Apples by Lisa Goldstein
4.0
Let's say this is a 3,5 * because I'm in two minds about this novel. There're parts I loved and parts I found incredibly dreary.
It's well written, dark and it's hard to root for any of the characters as they're not very likeable.
The mix of mythology, urban fantasy not always works and I spent quite a lot of time thinking "OMG but they're so young and so traumatised".
Even if there're dreary parts I read it as fast as I could because I found the style of writing quite hypnotic.
At the end of the day I think is one of those you love or hate. In may case I'm the middle but I'd recommend it because it can be an interesting read.
Many thanks to the publisher and Edelweiss for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
