pickThis was my first read of the spooky season and man did it set the tone for the month. An unsettling read with a semi-unreliable narrator who has a gruesome craving.

Up next is another dark academia. This one's adult though and takes place at a college for magic.
There was definitely a chill in the air today - it's finally starting to really feel like fall! 🎃🍁🍂🍄
so-soThere were actually MORE eyes than expected. As advertised? But still. Ew.
#hauntedshelf #flerken book 2!

Some covers from my current stacks that I think are #Gruesome or have a gruesome vibe. There‘s something about skeletons, body parts & distorted faces that is 😱
The 2 on the left I‘ve read (& loved) & the 3 on the right are in my #TBR. None of them made my #HauntedShelf TBR shortlist but I am going to try to work Diavola in.

This is lacking in dark academia vibes, world-building, character work, and the "romance" part had no chemistry.
Feels like it was written with all the trope-boxes to tick in mind.
pickMy first book finished for #hauntedshelf woo 🎃
This was a satisfying and creepy dark academia NA book set at a secretive university of ‘persuasion‘. I liked the MC and loved having both a black heroine and black mysterious love interest - a rarity in dark academia books. I enjoyed it less than House of Hollow which is an unfair comparison in some ways, it‘s not the writers fault I like vampires more, but eh.

so-soThis was definitely an unusual and disgusting horror novel. The beginning was a bit slow, but the end was oddly satisfying in a twisted way.
#illumicrate horror sub. I was going to cancel then this came. It was a good story but what a fan freaking tastic cover!
