I absolutely loved this book! Director's Cut follows a famous actress while she co-teaches a college course with her love interest. Both of the main characters are well developed and I couldn't help but devour this book in almost one sitting. I cannot recommend it enough!

It’s definitely a love letter to the horror genre and I recommend it if you like horror movies. I had to DNF the book before because it is pretty slow in the first half but it really picks up in the second half.

So I gotta say that I really enjoyed the first 75% of the book and would definitely recommend this book to others. I loved the characters and it was a fun novel to read. I didn't love the ending, but overall it was a great book! Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an ARC!

I went into this book with somewhat low expectations as I wasn't really sure what to expect. I can honestly say that this was such a fun read! I highly recommend reading it if you are into sapphic supernatural stories or if you are just looking to have a good time reading.

Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read an ARC!
