Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the gifted copy It was a fast read though and what a gorgeous cover. I think this concept is very cool but could have been executed better. Overall, enjoyable but the writing and plot were a bit muddled. I loved our characters even though they were a bit cliche - there our bi protagonist, a boy who is obsessed with death and the prissy sister along with all the "adults". The patriarch of the family is known to give lavish parties where the rich get to play dirty.
