The first half of this had me HOOKED. I loved the dark atmosphere, the two POVs which you didn‘t know how they‘d connect, the secrets. What annoyed me right from the start, though, was the insta-love. But I thought oh well yeah Wren is a kind of sheltered girl, of course she clings on to the first pretty boy that‘s nice to her, I bet there‘s a twist to it! Only that twist never came. It really was an insta-love story, and they loved each other just because. The second half felt like an entirely different book though? All of a sudden Wren felt superior, while acting irrationally and without questioning anything. It was painful to have her NOT recognize the „love of her life“ right away. Gotta admit, I only skimmed the last couple pages because I felt there was a lack of purpose to it all. I just couldn‘t care less. 3 Stars for the beautiful writing, the worldbuilding, and the grisly atmosphere!
