After reading If we were villains and loving it, I bought this book without even reading the synopsis and I am happy to say that this was a great blind buy. The story is fairly short and the plot is somewhat predictable, but the true treasure is the friends we made along the way. The characters are memorable and have great chemistry, and it was just a joy to read about their little investigation. The author managed to achieve with few words what others cannot in a bible-length novel. It was also gripping to read about the author's personal life and her take on dark academia. Overall, I loved this book. It was a nice little breather and got me out of a temporary reading slump. Rio is shaping up to become one of my favorite authors and I am eager to see what she comes up with next.

macabre but enjoyable - a book for insomniacs

Using seemingly nonsensical describtions the Author manages to paint very beautiful scenes, I mean "anemic streetlamps" is a very creative and fun way to put it. The characters are very well written even if their personalities can be a bit unlikeable. All the "friends"(?) work together to uncover the truth although their reason for doing so varies. It is overall a good mystery where everyone involved does their part. I read through it in one sitting (not a challenge I know) and it really was the perfect late night read. I wanna read more from the author. ~ཐིཋྀ
