Within These Wicked Walls by Lauren Blackwood
dark
mysterious
3.5
In terms of vibes, I really enjoyed Within These Wicked Walls! Spooky and dark, following Andromeda as she works as a debtera is a lot of fun (in the the-situation-sounds-horrible-but-I-enjoy-reading-it kind of way.)
Where this book falls incredibly flat is in regards to the interpersonal relationships. Romantic, parental, friendships, all of them just didn't play out very well in this novel. Too much developed too fast for there to be any real weight behind any of them. And essentially all characters except Andromeda were fairly annoying.
Would be interested in more by Blackwood but this one was not for me. Very much did enjoy the audiobook.
