A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid

5.0

Ohhhh THIS! There’s just something about the unravelling of a mystery in a decaying mansion in the middle of nowhere…IM IN LOVE WITH THIS BOOK! 

It gave me really big crimson peak vibes, trying to piece together the mystery of the house and the people inside it set against this backdrop of decay and despair?? LOVEEEEE! Effy was a fascinating MC and I truly loved living inside her head for this book, such an EASY 5*. 

The dark academia vibes, poetry and literature contrasted with the myths and legends just made it even more impeccable. Please read if this is on your tbr!
