aliceallegedly 's review for:
A Lesson in Vengeance
by Victoria Lee
Received an arc from netgalley in exchange for a review!
This was honestly the atmospheric witchy book of my dreams.
I don’t want to say to much because it’s batshit in the best way and the last thing I want to do is spoil it but it was great.I loved the atmosphere, the creepiness, the unreliability of it all and I can’t wait to handsell it at work.
The only criticism I have, and it’s not even a criticism really, was the jarring modernity. From all the author’s posts on social media, I had thought this was a period piece and then I got smacked in the face with a Bluetooth speaker. The characters all dress old fashioned and purposely forgo things like cell phones that there would be just enough stretches of time between references to that modernity that I’d...forget? Almost? And I get that that was the VIBE and believe me the vibe worked, I just felt the reminders of the time period maybe could’ve been a little smoother.
But like I said that’s a really small thing because the vibes were in fact impeccable and every time I stopped reading I couldn’t wait to get back to it
