A review by shutupaboutbooks
An Education in Malice by S.T. Gibson

4.0

This book is one of lush story-telling and violence. The characters are young and naive in the most realistic way possible. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. 

I absolutely love a good exploration of the corruption of academia. However, I felt the exploration of Carmilla and De Fontaine needed a bit more backstory. I want to know how this attachment came to be. 

I also felt the romance felt a little forced. Laura and Carmilla did not have as much chemistry as I would've hoped. I did still enjoy their romance though. 

As a young college student myself, I felt St. Gibson did a phenomenal job representing the confusion and adjustment college students face. 

I really enjoyed this read! Thank you NetGalley!
