The Skeleton Key

These morbidly dark covers with flowers and bones are all the rage in the 2020s, and oh my am I here for it. I am also here for this book in general. Kelly writes beautifully and artfully, and while it took me a while to get into things, I ended up devouring this 540+ page book - and gladly so. Families with dark histories, toxic households, never knowing who to trust, serial killers...it was all glorious, I tell you! But seriously, read this book. We are well into fall, and it's time for some spookiness, which I got here.

I was really disappointed with this book. I really loved the summary of it and the cover really drew me in. The beginning was good but as it went through it was just very dull. There was nothing rising with the story so there wasn't really a climax. If anything I was left mind numb and not in the good way.
