My Dearest Darkest by Kayla Cottingham

4.0

another great read from cottingham, which is ironic since this is actually her debut. i just went backwards! my dearest darkest is like head like a hole’s younger, gayer sister: there’s a powerful inhuman entity, a mysterious school, a group of friends being targeted for their human body parts - very similar! but kayla has a talent for weaving classic YA romance and coming of age themes with some very inventive horror and mystery. just like this delicious death, my dearest darkest is at once funny, heartfelt, romantic, gory, horrific, gripping, and satisfying. plus i cannot overstate how much it means to me to read a sapphic romance at the heart of all of that. i will definitely be reading kayla cottingham’s future offerings, im officially a fan.
