I very much enjoyed this beautifully rich and Gothic novel. The pacing was excellent, she really made you sit in the atmosphere and emotion on every page.

I really appreciated having a slow flowing story that let the tension and obsession slowly build instead of rushing to the exciting parts. How I wouldn't give to be in such an academic setting even if I have to put up with so many men and an overbearing gothic atmosphere.

I do have to say that the dynamic was frustrating and miscommunication is not a favorite trope but I will still always read about women obsessed with each other and all of their wrongs.

Thank you NetGalley and Orbit for this ARC!
