I absolutely love and adore a good puzzle story, putting together all the hints everything I just love it, and Rawblood is so beautifully done, its amazing.
Its not a 5* because it felt something was....dragging in some part, I cant put my finger on it, it wasn't until 40% in that I was sure I was gonna finish it and not just dnf it!
The first chapter is the weakest imo, but its also really important lol, so don't be like me and actually pay attention.

DNF at 14% couldn't get into it, the overabundance of "papa" just got on my nerves too much. No rating.

This was great. A witchy time-traveling queer ghost story. A little Kate Atkinson, a little Shirley Jackson, a little all the author’s own thing. It read very classically gothic but felt modern. Super compelling and twisty and beautiful. (Beware that there’s some horrific animal cruelty in this. It doesn’t feel gratuitous but it’s hard to read.)

Any other time I may have pushed through this book. But right now, it's part of my fright fest book month and it is SO BORING. So I have to stop. Maybe I'll revisit another time.

The idea for the story was great, but I just had trouble connecting to any of the characters. I couldn't get invested in the story.

This is a very quirky and dark novel with its literary complexity. I enjoyed the storyline in this book although its language was hard going and I found myself often re-reading chapters to grasp the meaning and general sense. An interesting take on concepts of death, madness, love, human imperfections.

I had high hopes based on the reviews - however they weren't met. The premise was never fully explained and the plot became this circuitous morass that was impossible to navigate.
