"There's nothing more natural than death; it's the answer to life."

If it weren't for picking this up around the most busiest time for me, I would have devoured this book so much faster than I did. Cozy Horror is a thing right? Because if so, this is that - this is such a perfectly spooky, cozy book for the fall and darker than I expected it to be.

There's mystery and curses, witches , ghosts, demons, personal growth and sapphic romance? OH and magically pastries and I really wish was a real world thing... And then you want to make me all misty eyed on top of all that over Brume and her friends in Misttown.

Overall, the characters and story was interesting even when I was getting a bit frustrated with Brume's actions and I'm always a sucker for a familiar!

I saw this book described as 'Spooky Ghibli vibes' and 1000% agree.

Thank you so much Apolline for the ARC for this gem and for your patience!

(Totally read the CW for this book.)
