Finishing out of spite at this point. Assumed it was an indy authors 1st outing but it turns out she's a bestselling author who's had multiple works traditionally published so ... brutal honesty seems appropriate. It's bad... it's so bad! Her website FAQs on "Craft" claim she wrote it in 2 weeks, and doesn't follow a writing process, which tracks. She should probably look up the definition of craft though.

Am I Dnf'ing or just leaving it until later? Who knows, not me. I'm so close to the end but I don't think I care enough to bother. I'm going to start The Night Circus instead. Maybe I'll be in the right mood to come back and check this one off at some point. Not sure what mood that would be though.

Ehhh, it's ok. Lacks world, character & relationship building. Cringy dialogue eg: "If this is madness, drown me in it" 🤮 Not much plot, just insta-lust, some crows, she hears voices, he is "mysterious" (we know because they tell us, not because he behaves in a particularly mysterious manner). There are gothic elements but the vibe feels more Vampire Diaries than Interview with a Vampire.

Ehhh, it's fine, I'll keep going. Currently debating whether I continue with the audiobook so I can do other things while I finish it... Or switch to KU so I can finish it quicker. Not much building of worlds, or characters, or relationships. Not much going on at all really, just insta-lust, cringy dialogue, there's crows & a voice in her head & people occasionally disappear. That's it, you're all caught up

ARGHH. I just picked it back up only to immediately read about the MMC telling the FMC (whose instincts literally just found the bodies that had been missing for decades) that her feeling of impending doom is probably just her hormones.... I can't...
