A Lesson in Vengeance
by Victoria Lee
CW: hard to do this without major spoilers but Spoilerdrug use, scenes of intense spiralling out of control mental health, murder (including one lesbian character), psychopathy, extreme gaslighting playing on a person's mental health, descriptions of dead bodies, murder made to look like suicide, toxic/emotionally abusive romantic relationship
5 Stars
This was deliciously evil.
Secret societies with a history of murder. Toxic friendships between pretentious, obsessive young adults. An unreliable narrator and a creepy mystery that keeps you guessing until the end to such an extent, you won't even be sure of the genre of the book until the final reveals.
This isn't one of those books that I loved because it made me laugh and gave me nice warm feelings. This book was brutal and cold AF, none of the characters likeable (except perhaps Leonie), but still super compelling. It's the kind of book where you know things are going to end badly, but you have absolutely no idea what form the series of unfortunate events will take. Spoiler(The only thing that seemed obvious to me was that Clara was marked for death. By supernatural or human causes, however, I had no idea.) You get pulled along into the vortex of Felicity's spiralling paranoia, and it's a nauseating but thrilling ride.
Definitely a great book for spooky month.
