A book filled with dark academia, whiskey and smoke, it will take you on a trip of moral questioning, spinning of reality and show you how it really feels to have blood on your hands. Despite being a detail heavy, slow moving read, you’ll find something strangely enticing about this book which will stay with you right to the very end.
