A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid

4.5

---

This was such a suspenseful and atmospheric book! I loved the setting of the dilapidated manor sinking into the ocean. I also really loved Effy, I felt very connected to her softer nature and loved her character arc. Reid's writing is so beautiful and poetic, it really makes this gothic fantasy stand out amongst all the others that I've read. My one and only critique is that the ending felt just slightly anticlimactic, but not in a way that ruined the story for me.
