Eh

As another review said this book is drawn out to the extreme. Normally I love it when author's decide to expand on details about their character's and world, but this is very much a case of extraneous details for details sake and nothing else. The supermatural elements of the story don't add much of anything other than some nice window dressing as well as a reason for the MC to care about animals. The author does an excellent job at selling you on the romance of it all however, and so even if you have to wade through a lot of unnecessary chapters to get to it it is definitely this book's strong point. And I have to say I do like the way in which the MC is written as she is enjoyable to follow and fleshed out well.

I really dislike how little time was spent on dealing with the aftermath of the murder however. For a book so interested in explaining phsycological theory, the almost non-existent time spent dwelling on what she did and the effect it might have had on her is jarring to say the least. Also the fact we dont know whether she ever tells Fiona or not is baffling to me, considering there's no way that sort of secret wouldn't cause some sort of friction or self doubt. Saying this I've never killed someone haha so maybe I'm talking nonsense, but still for a book with such a long runtime I'd have wished some of the time spent explaining about halloween parties ext was spent instead on dealing with these issues.
