3.75 ⭐️ rounded up to 4 ⭐️

Fast-paced, clever, and a bit darker than I expected (in a good way) - this was such a fun Novella! For a short story, it was well-written and paced, and it delivered on the paranormal-mystery vibes. I did not expect the twist towards the end! I found myself wanting just a bit more tension and longing from the romance, but it’s hard to develop that kind of connection in a novella. It sounds like this is just the beginning of the story though, and I’m so intrigued to see what comes next!

Thank you NetGalley and Briar Somerset for the e-arc in exchange for my honest review.
