Customer Reviews

Dark, creepy, and imaginative

This was such a weird, creepy book. It's really well written, has an engaging plot with lots of twists, and dazzling fantastical imagery. It's also a horror novel with almost no violence. Which is refreshing as violence is so often overused. And also the cover is super gorgeous!
