All the Dead Lie Down by Kyrie McCauley

- Loveable characters? Yes
3.5
This was a creepy, haunting gothic horror story. The gory descriptions of animal deaths made me squirmy. The sapphic romance was...fine? I don't think the writing was lyrical or romantic to make me deeply invested in their love story, but it was nice to see them care for each other. I had no idea necromancy was involved in the story! Grief and death were major themes here, and I think it was handled well. Everyone had their own ways to handle their grief.
