Phenomenal!! I loved this so much, I’m telling you now, it’s going straight onto my re-read list. This is a modern day Great Gatsby retelling, executed in such a beautifully dark coded way. We all know the original story, but reimagining it as a horror romance was nothing short of brilliant.
The book follows two lost souls, Daisy (FMC) and Gatsby (MMC), from completely opposite backgrounds who find each other. I won’t give away any twists (no spoilers here!), but the storytelling is masterful. It was fascinating to explore Gatsby’s insecurities and how he reshaped himself into who he wanted to be.
That said, since this is a horror romance, check the trigger warnings—it delves into some heavy topics. Daisy’s character endures so much throughout the story, and at times, my heart absolutely ached for her. I absolutely love Tylor Paige's writing there are twist to this story that keep you locked in and the ending is fantastic. Just add it now to TBR.
