so unbelievably upset that it took so long for me to read this. was only vaguely aware of it during its peak tumblr days, and if ANYONE had mentioned this is a fucking TREASURE HUNTING SERIES i would have devoured it YEARS AGO

really can’t describe this book but i had the best time. the atmosphere is so intense and the characters are truly amazing; the last 10% of the book left me a little ??? so that’s that, really loved it tho.

This is a very good book. Especially considering that i was written 10 years ago. It was exactly my level of creepy. Not scary. I cannot tolerate scary. The characters are great, it is so very engaging, good dialogues, supernatural, witchy, dark academia, perfect for a busy fall read for people who do not want to be scared but do not want to feel left out either. Would recommand. I do not think that the ending is very strong. (But I guess it’s okay considering that it is a first in a series.)
