I received this book in a book box and read it for my Fall Vibes Reading Challenge. It was a good YA horror, perfect for the season.

Maybe she liked it in the stacks because these books were set aside and forgotten. They meant nothing to anybody and yet they continued to exist.
Ah yes. My weakness. Pretty rich boys with daddy issues. Strikes again.
I have not enjoyed a book like this in a while. I just could not stop. The dark academia vibe, the plot is gripping and exciting and I adored the two main characters. Eliot and Tess were so well crafted with strong motivations and flaws.
I normally do not like romance in books, but this slow burn was literally killing me. Damn.
And then that ending nearly did finish me off.
I just really enjoyed this book.

What an utterly perfect read!! A brilliant blend of romance and dark academia, this book truly unites everything I love in a good book. The writing is beautiful, the characters and their relationships well-crafted, and the story just the right kind of creepy. I could live in the world of this story forever, that's how incredible the atmosphere Tori Bovalino creates is. If you're a fan of the Dark Academia genre or well-crafted stories in general, I can only urge you to pick up this book. Perfect if you enjoyed Leigh Bardugo's "Ninth House" or Maggie Stiefvater's "Raven Boys".

It's more of a 3.75, but let's not be that picky.
It was sa pretty great book, I like it but is definitely not a fave. It's very atmospheric which was really nice, though there was a bit too much romance for my liking. It was pretty fast paced as well.
