Everyone loves a good murder mystery for the spooky season and the month of October, in the peak of fall and homecoming dances, horror movies and the promise of a new season, and you have Alexa Donne's new book!
Brightly Burning was my favorite work from her (A very successful Jane Eyre retelling in a sci-fi space opera vibes which were perfect!) And I get to add this on to the list. The murder mystery itself was really good, with a plot twist I did not expect at all (But hey, murder authors in books are meant to be creepy!)
Top 5 reasons to consider this one is as follows:
We can all relate to Cecelia's feeling of being an outsider in a new place in the middle of a chaotic year
If you're the type of person to enjoy murder mysteries with LGBTQ+ characters who ACTUALLY get to do some important things, read this one!
A good plot twist that has you wondering which love interest will stay with Cecelia is also worth checking out
It is in the homecoming season we all either hate/love but it gives Riverdale vibes and I AM HERE FOR IT
Alexa Donne has a way to pull you in with vivid imagery and topics that will really make you enter Cecelia's shoes and will have you rooting for her.
In summary, add this to the spooky October list now!
Overall:5/5
