Cult of Personality

Why I waited between the last book and this one, I have no idea. I started this one, wondering if I had over-hyped the series in my mind, only quickly devour it– all while highlighting more sections than I have practically any other book.

I've gotta say that the progression of the romance between the main characters has been beautifully done and their own character growth and expression makes this series amazing. Practically a favorite... maybe... it is getting close. Anyhow, this is couple is one of my favorite, featuring a healthy relationship. Asking about one another, checking boundaries, open communication (...ish? since there are still dark secrets, but they are actively working on it), caring for one another. I love them and I love all their bickering. I laughed, I smiled, possibly even giggled over this couple.

But, this book isn't just about how cute Mal and Yoon are. WHat?!!? Yes, I know there are other awesome aspects here.

We can't forget about the crime they have to solve which, while not exactly a mystery, does border on thriller/horror because of how creepy these cases can be. Seriously, the writing is fantastic, truly evoking emotion from me– including the chill up the spine.
There is also the overarching mystery. What happened with Silas and Yoon? When will it all come to a head?! The intensity is slowly building and it is killing me (in a good way).

I'll stop gushing now. Although, this is totally evidence on why I should write reviews promptly after finishing a book instead of waiting, oh... a month. sigh I'm trying.

Anyhow, if you have yet to pick up this series and you like creepy mysteries, cute romances I'm recommending this one to you!
