“Life can only be appreciated in reverse, but you have to live it forward.” 

 

“Daughter of the Drowned,” by Kerry Williams 

 

I would say this type of book ended up not being the type of book I normally read. I liked it but I wished it wasn’t so slow in my opinion. It was marketed as “Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and V.E Schwab, those who like their romantic fantasy with a side of gore, childhood friends to lovers, Death as a love interest, and their romance with more steam and less spice.” which I fully agree with. That literally is the best way to summarize the vibe of the book. There was a lot of addiction and ED issues, which is what I liked about the book because in my opinion it made the characters more realistic and made me sympathize with FMC. 3 out of 5 stars, worth the read if you like ghost books and mystery.
