“What the fck did I just read?” – me, after finishing this book
Also: I loved it.
main thoughts
Let me be honest: I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from this book when I started reading it. I wasn’t the biggest fan of August, to be honest, so I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy their dynamic so much.
However…the hidden darkness residing within August during life is brought out tenfold in death. Which, as a fan of dark romance and morally gray MMCs, obviously means I ended up loving undead August, lol.
This is such a strange review to write because a part of me doesn’t even know how to write my thoughts down because this book was so different from what I’ve read before. It didn’t go in the direction I was expecting it to–except for something I suspected at the very end–and it has quickly become one of my absolute favorite reads of 2025.
Okay, now that I have that out of the way, I’ll try to explain my thoughts about this book in a more cohesive manner 😂
First off, I want to say that I loved Natasha, our FMC. She was incredibly sweet with a big heart and reading about her grief over August was absolutely devastating. I do think agreeing to date Devin was a big mistake, but I understand why she felt compelled to. Grief does some funny things to our psyche and with how alone she felt, I get why she finally gave in. But dang, that dude was such a dick.
The revenge plot, while obviously being super unhealthy, was definitely compelling and kept me intrigued. The plot definitely drove this book along, but I also loved the characters, the aesthetics, and the spice between August and Natasha.
I had a slight suspicion of how this book was going to end, but the way it played out was perfect and I loved it 💖
bullet points
- this is by far one of the wildest books I’ve read, and I enjoyed every bit of it!
- I love how ride-or-die Natasha’s best friend, Mandy, is. I’m sort of hoping the author writes a book with Mandy as the FMC. Maybe with her serial killer boyfriend? Not sure.
- I loved the dialogue, especially between August and Natasha.
