Allurial and Book of the Month were both delivered today.😍

Omg I forgot to post my #allhallowsread box! Thank you to @MaleficentBookDragon for hosting and especially to @ferskner for this amazing box!!!

I finished this just before the deadline this evening. I described this to a friend as “The Exorcist on meth,” and I think that description held up pretty well. This was gory but pretty damn fun!

I'm a little less mad than I was ~50 minutes ago when I posted my last update on this, BUT I saw a particular aspect coming a long way away and it doesn't matter how much it got lampshaded by the character saying “yes, I should've realised“, she SHOULD have realised, and it deeply annoyed me.
I did love the teacher's-eye view of a magical school, and being Welsh, found it pleasing that it was British and the school journey was recognisable.
If this plot “twist“ isn't subverted in some way in the next 25 pages, I am going to drop my rating of this book by at least two stars from what I expected earlier today. I saw this coming a mile away, and the character involved should've too.
I have rarely felt so furiously disappointed in a book, so I really need to start reading again now or I'll put it down forever... but there is actually the chance it will rescue itself somehow soon.

Been meaning to get to this for ages, finally got started! It's gonna take me longer to finish it than I “budgeted“ for in figuring out whether I can still get a blackout in #BookSpinBingo, according to Bookly... which means I'm all pouty and wondering how much work I can pare down to get more reading time, ahaha.
