I’m hopping in the trend!
I usually do genuinely like most books in my genre. I hand out 4s and 5s pretty often but these…I could have done without.

The vibes I bring:
Gothic mystery, Eerie elegance, and just a hint of the macabre. 🖤
Expect spooky book talk, haunting aesthetics, and a touch of chaos.
