This book had many things I love in a YA horror. It was creepy without being terrifying (perfect for an introduction into a horror genre), but, I would say this seemed to be marketed as a sapphic horror romance, and I found it more to be a coming-of-age YA psychological horror as this novel navigates the MCs grief and it becomes a main plot point in the story.

All in all, this was a good book. I think that there were things about the story that bothered me (the most blatant one being Layla's jealousy, it drove me mental) but they didn't outshine the parts I enjoyed. Would recommend.
