Definitely not my favorite Allison Saft, but still very enjoyable. I liked the gothic vibes, even though the mystery ended up being kind of predictable. I also really liked the overarching message that empathy and emotion isn’t weakness, and that your identity is made up of more than just your work. The romance was hard to root for at first because GIRL, THAT IS A WHOLE ASS WAR CRIMINAL!! PUT HIM DOWN YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE HE’S BEEN!!! But ultimately Hal Cavendish did win me over…not so sure I like what that says about me.
