“the bait that treads the water is usually the hook that kills the prey.”
A truer quote was never attributed to a book, I swear. This falls somewhere between static white and oblivion level dark, reader discretion advised. I put off reading this for too long, and loved it. Dark books with actual plots make my soul sing. But I’m definitely going to need to bleach my brain with a romcom before hitting book 2. Fuck me. I am not ok. Send help.
