But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo
5.0
Gothic horror meets sapphic monster romance with a mystery twist? Yes, please!
But Not Too Bold is the tale of Anatema, the mercurial Lady of the Capricious House, who just so happens to be a massive humanoid spider with a weakness for laudanum and beautiful women, and Dália, her newest keeper of the keys—as Anatema made a meal out of the last.
After learning the reason behind her predecessors death—a stolen memorial keepsake—Dália is tasked to find the true culprit or else her life is forfeit as well. Only while Dália plays sleuth at Anatema’s behest, she finds herself intrigued by more than just the case.
What a delightfully weird read this was! This was so eerie and beautifully written, and while I wasn’t quite convinced of Anatema & Dália’s feelings for each other, I was hooked regardless.
This was fantastic.
