A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid
Did not finish book. Stopped at 61%.

I thought the author was just alluding to grooming behaviors but when it continued to occur with several older male chapters I decided I couldn’t continue for my own sake

This world is unlike anything I have encountered before and while it is incredibly complex, I found myself fully immersed. The twists and turns felt like a thriller/mystery while the fantasy and romance elements were what we have come to love with SJM. The last third was a wild ride. It’s a long boon but damn it was worth it!
