This was fascinating! A true dark academia/gothic horror novel I was pulled in and so intrigued by the mystery and the plot and honest could not put this book down. There were absolutely moments where I was a bit (or more than a bit) grossed out by some of the descriptions, but again I couldn't stop reading. Not only did I find each of the main characters so interesting I really enjoyed their relationship. The teacher/student dynamic can be a bit iffy for me sometimes, but I found this to be really well done. I felt like every character in this book was either morally gray or a straight up villain and I was here for it all. And that ending! Oh my goodness I need more.
