I loved 90% of this book. It's incredibly creepy, and the vibes were amazing. I found so many beautiful quotes, and the ace rep had me happy crying as it always does. Really interesting characters and compelling plot. But the end just fell a little short and unfortunately brought the whole thing up a bit short of the 5 stars I was feeling for most of the novel.
This meets somewhere between Strange Grace by Tessa Gratton and The Wicker King by K Ancrum. Codependency, body horror, and tragedy
