An Education in Malice by S.T. Gibson
5.0
I loved Dowry of Blood and since then have been a fan of S.T. Gibson as such I was excited to read her dark academia upcoming novel and I was not at all disappointed. The prose was one of the things I loved the most, told through dual point of views we get a beautiful, sultry and haunting look into the heart and minds of Laura and Carmilla. I was dragged into the world from the start.
The enemies to lovers is a trope I had not fully understood but I can say that now I am a fan. This is a beautiful if sometimes violent sapphic horror. As always Gibson brings her world to life in such a way that you feel as if you are alongside them. For me the main thing that kept me hooked was the yearning and elements of dark academia (it spoke to the academic in me).
If you are looking for a beautiful but haunting sapphic gothic horror this is it. it’s hard to mention more without spoilers but if you have read a Dowry of Blood you know exactly what to expect and will not be disappointed.
