Not Good for Maidens by Tori Bovalino

5.0

Not Good For Maidens is a atmospheric horror based off of the poem 'Goblin Market' by Christina Rossetti.

Louisa doesn't believe in magic or the stories that her family tell her of the horrors they endured trying to escape it.
It is only when her aunt goes missing that the market calls to her.  Determined to save her,  Lou sets off on a quest to save her aunt.
Will the market claim her too?

This was an atmospheric and fast paced novel that never failed to lose me in it's pages.
On top of that,  this novel has LGBTQ+ characters present within it,  which is an amazing addition to the novel as well as the fast paced storyline and the right blend of fantasy and darkness.
