I loved this! I was really enthralled by everything going on, and there were plenty of plot twists (especially in those last chapters, lord). This was a great entry book for me to get into, not just horror but dark academia. There's also ace representation in the book which I've personally never seen, and I loved it! If you're into monsters, a slow burn like nobody's business, and dark academia, this book is for you! It literally had me screaming in my house at 11 pm, and when I finished it, I was staring at the wall for an hour, lol.
