I had an absolute blast reading A Lesson In Vengeance. I'm obsessed with unreliable narrators and the slow descent into madness. Victoria Lee nailed the constant uncanny/eerie feeling of this book.

Honestly props to Ellis. She managed to gaslight me into believing she wouldn't kill anyone either.

This book toes the perfect line between urban fantasy and literary fiction and keeps you asking will magic be made real or won't it. I find the whole nature of Felicity's thesis regarding how witches and magic reflect female mental illness so perfectly summarised by this storyline!!
