I cannot say enough good things about this book. Sapphic horror/thriller might be my new favorite genre, and Vincent Tirado did an incredible job.

This book was just so… meh. I finished it only because I hate to dnf, but I really could’ve just set it down at 36% and still not missed out on much. It didn’t get even a little bit interesting until past the 80% mark. For a thriller, there wasn’t much “thrill”.
