I really loved the atmosphere and the first half of the book - 5 stars from me. The second half didn't get bad per se, but just wasn't as engrossing. I still liked it a lot overall, but the book didn't blow me away in the end. Still, the side characters were fascinating and intriguing, and the settings were fun - it really gave you that modern gothic horror vibe. I just lost the plot somewhere near the end. I also liked and appreciated the sapphic romance bits, but ultimately didn't love how it all came together. The (mostly) happy ending did not work for me with the tone of the rest of the book. Overall, it was a fun read though!
