A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid

3.0

3 // i really wanted to like this :( but honestly it just fell flat in most aspects. the plot wasn't engaging, the romance felt a bit half-arsed and i honestly would have preferred the book without it, and the writing felt as though it wanted to be slow and descriptive for sake of depicting a lush atmosphere but failed, in turn leaving prose a bit cloying and drudging to get through.

this was fine. but i have a feeling that ava reid's adult works will be more up my alley as i do believe her chosen subjects and writing have potential to be very good.

hence le trois etoiles...
