This book was something else.
Its the kind of story I’ll be pondering for a long time.
It’s completely addicting and despite the fact that I was unsettled by everything that happened I just had to keep reading. So, so atmospheric. If a story could smell like something this one would be cloves and soil. Also, dead roses. 🥀🥀🥀
The plot twist… I was not expecting that. Honestly this bittersweet tale was a rollar coaster. The end was abrupt but who cares? It’s a haunting murder mystery where the lush writing paints a dreamy and dark atmosphere with academia vibes at its finest. Plus, witchy lesbians. What more could you want?
