"This was how it was going to be - she didn’t deserve the truth. She could get close enough to taste it, but she could never have the real thing."
This was SO good. It's so trippy and compelling and I just HAD to know what the frick was going on in Snakebite. The atmosphere and sense of place are incredible, the characters are excellently fleshed-out, and the overall vibes are just brilliant. The story is both terrifying as fuck and completely and utterly devastating and there are so many important conversations and observations in here. I was just so, so impressed by it! It's definitely one that will stay with me, and I can't wait to read more from Courtney Gould.
(Also it has a content warning at the beginning and we love to see that <333)
