3.5

This book has a promising summary that reminded me of a queer-themed Sleepy Hollow. But then it took a wild turn in the last few chapters, featuring unexpected sm🔞t with fantasy creatures? It felt completely out of left field. Maybe this book needed to be longer? More grounded in reality? I don’t know. Overall, a somewhat decent spooky read, but not sure if I'd recommend it to others.
