 These Deathless Girls was not what I expected, and honestly, that’s probably my fault for not reading the blurb.

Let’s just say without reading the blurb, the book starts as one thing and transforms into something else. It’s not exactly a bad thing, but it did throw me for a loop.

Aside from that, this book contains some beautiful relationship-building and sweet sapphic romance. 

I very much enjoyed the world-building and wanted more of it, which is why I was surprised when the book wasn’t made into at least a duology. It felt as though it were building to one, but instead, it ended quite abruptly.

It’s a fairly short read, so if you want a quick hit of gothic sapphic romance with a very intriguing magic system, I’d give it a go. Although it may well leave you wanting more of something you’ll likely never get.
