EDIT: I was reminded of this book again and disliked it even more upon reflection.
I’m a bit annoyed I forced myself to finish this lol. Started out really strong, but soon I realized the main character was really stupid. The plot twists were a bit too obvious, but it took ages for her to realize, and I as the reader had the same amount of information as her since the book was in 1st person.

“To the quiet girls with stories in their heads.

I bought this book, but hesitated to start it. It did start a bit slow, but towards about 40% it picked up for me and I was hooked.

The story is original, it’s gothic, it’s horror! It has my favorite trope enemies to lovers. ...more

Absolutely amazing, loved everything about this.
So fucking good.
3.5 but rounding up because I am excited that my Libby hold for the second book came up on the day I finished this one.
The Good: the vibes, immaculate. Sleepy hollow and Grimm's fairy tales had a baby and it's called Blunder. I loved the sing-song poetry, perfect for scaring naughty children.
The Fine: The magic system feels like it's on the brink of being awesome but keeps falling short. Hard to describe I guess. The cards lack depth but they are still cool.
The Bad: The beginning is slow and con ...more
