This was EVERYTHING.
I’ve never been one for mysteries as I tend to find them too predictable and makes the overall experience… boring. Here, I completely forgot that there was something I should even be looking for! The atmosphere, the characters, the book as a whole creates it’s own pace and secrets where I found myself not wanting to solve the mistery myself but rather watch Sam and Dr. Moriarty do it.
The underlying topics like class struggle and misoginy made it all feel more real and round even tho we are talking about monsters.
I can’t wait to have it on my shelves (and make my friends buy it) when it comes out!
Thank you Bindery Books and NetGalley for this ARC!
