5.0

This book was absolutely horrifying, blood-curling in a terribly satisfying way. It was guttural and raw it made my skin crawl. 

I don't ever read this genre of books, what made me pick it up was its cover (not this one, but a stunning illustrated cover with a black background, characters in colours of  a fiery sunset and an accent colour of purple. It's gorgeous) 

My favourite story is Ishq, but they were all very beautifully written. The prose in this book is ethereal and I took my precious time reading this book, it took me unusually long to finish it even though it's quite short.
