 Do you want emotional damage? This is the book for you.
This book is gonna be on my mind for a while. It's been days since I finished it, and I want to reread it because I love a book that hurts me.

I loved the storyline progression in this book, how we get little flashbacks and reveals of the past but we're always left wondering and wanting more. This book made me feel greedy, jumping at every crumb Kelly Andrew gave us. The relationship between three childhood friends: Wyatt, Peter, and James was so interesting and I loved this trio. The angst and tension between all of them was perfect to me.

The plot and pacing felt really good to me, and there wasn't a point where I was ever bored with this book. I also felt like there was really no wasted space, which is so refreshing. This is labeled as fantasy and horror and romance, but it's not like anything I've ever read in any of those genres.
It's so hard to put into words why I loved this book so much, but it really was SO good, and so painful, and so beautifully written. If you read this please feel free to yell in my DMs about it.
