A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee
5.0
ARC received via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I love the aesthetic: dark and mysterious. Libraries full of dark wood and leather tomes. Girls loving girls with literary discussions thrown in.
Ellis always felt odd to me, I never found the allure. Though I liked that the characters had flaws. Felicity especially felt so real. No sugar coating on top.
I loved how Felicity's story changed the entire book. You start to realize she really is unreliable. Every time you think you've gotten the full story of what happened with Alex, you get more! I find her thing with the antidepressants very believable, but I've read some reviews against it.
I also liked the little doses of magic, though I don't know how accurate they were. It even inspired me to break into the tarot deck I bought last month.
The spooks were perfect. I was reading at home at night and had to get up and check my own house. I was definitely immersed in the story.
No happy endings here, but a great book nonetheless!
