A Lesson in Vengeance
by Victoria Lee
2.5/5 stars
okay, where to start? First of all, i'm disappointed in this book because i've read books of Victoria Lee's before and loved them, a lot. Next to that was I also very intrigued by the premise of this book; a lesbian dark academia with a murder mystery plot? sign me tf up.
But instead of being pulled into the story as I had expected and hoped, I found myself bored throughout almost the entire book. The characters felt underdeveloped and it felt like nothing happened throughout like 80% of the book, and if something happened, it was so goddamn repetitive. Everything that happened was practically a carbon copy of all the other events, but changed in a minor detail. I didn't like any character, nor was I excited about the lesbian romance, which I did not expect whatsoever.
The ending also definitely felt rushed, as almost nothing else happened in the previous 300 pages. I am definitely not a fan of the "x years later" endings of books, and definitely also not of this one.
I will probably still read other books by Victoria Lee if they come out with more, considering I loved the other ones of them. Kinda sad I disliked this one.
