This book was more mysterious and dark than what I'm used to and what I expected but the cover did warn me it would be like that so that was on me. Nevertheless, the story was very intriguing and to quote Captain Holt from B99: "I didn't know what was happening, and then I thought I knew what was happening, but what I thought I knew was happening wasn't what was happening."
Since having found sapphic books I can not bring myself to read books that don't involve any wlw characters or story lines and this one was the perfect example of how you can write a story with a sapphic character without the main topic being a wlw romance.
All in all I highly recommend All the Bad Apples but I advise everyone to check out the trigger warnings because it discusses and mentions very heavy issues.

I also especially love how this author writes magic into her books. It's this beautiful realism that sometimes has scientific explanations and sometimes is just ephemeral enough to make you wonder if it really happened or the characters just saw it in their own mind. I love it.
