After reading Hunting/Haunting Adeline, this was a good addition to that story and universe. Very gorey, very sad. It was interesting getting to see Sibby's POV.

Summerween Read! 🎃

I love finding shocking things to read and stepping out of my comfort zone to try new things.. with that being said, I don't really know what to feel about this book. It was definitely a wild ride from start to finish! I found myself going "wtf am I reading???" from basically the first chapter. I guess this is technically my first official venture into Dark Romance, but I'd personally classify this book as a Horror which is what I read it as. I think the twist ending is what ultimately brought this novella up above 2 stars for me; but I'm intrigued enough to continue reading the series, so we'll see how it goes!
