All That Consumes Us by Erica Waters

challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

All That Consumes Us by Erica Waters is hauntingly beautiful and possessed me immediately. The dark academia and gothic vibes were perfectly executed and I couldn't help but imagine Corbin College nestled in the dark mountains of Tennessee like some dark Spectre. The vibes made me think of Nevermore Academy or Brakebills College with the academic worldbuilding and supernatural realism. Jane Eyre is my favorite classic story and you can see it's inspiration throughout this tale. The slow dive into madness and the haunted brilliance of the characters captivated me and the spiral towards the explosive ending was amazing! I love this book and will definitely be purchasing a hard copy and following the author.
