grimmarchive's review against another edition

The romance aspect felt very sprung up. I'm all for romance, and enjoyed the little tidbits of Eloise and lenna, but the current romance felt forced and rushed. Additionally, the switching POVs is jarring and immediately took me out of whatever roll I was on. Just not for me. This book seemed so interesting and I was excited to read it. Dissapointing.

Really disappointed with this one. It read like a sixth grader dabbling in queer fanfic: no character development, a predictable and lackluster plot, and eye rolling prose (if it can even be called that).

I am but a diligent nerd, the author won me over in the end with the list of further reading. 

Overall, it was an interesting story and I was curious to see if I was right about what happened.

I, personally, would have preferred a little more focus on the ghosts and a little less focus on physical intimacy.
