maybe this isn’t a straight out 5 star read re: the strength of the believability of the plot BUT i absolutely had a blast reading it and i barely wanted to put it down until i’d finished it! so in that sense it’s getting a five star rating for entertaining me fully and for having a main character that i absolutely adore. 

i thought vesper was the perfect main character with her own little flaws and Childhood Trauma™️ with her difficult relationship with her mother, constance, who i was super intrigued by. i won’t go into detail because it’s all plot relevant, but i loved them both and their messed up relationship. 

black sheep was so so good and rachel harrison is quickly become an author i just have to read everything by now that ive read this and such sharp teeth. will definitely have to read her other books on my tbr! 

thank you to titan books for the arc on netgalley!
