This is the definition of �Beautiful people doing horrible things�.
I read this one last year and I still have some scenes imprinted in my brain. What I remember more was the feeling of reading this book, an unsettling feeling, of being attracted to this characters and their sensual poetic life, and at the same time being disgusted and distrusting them. It was like knowing you were being seduced into a cult, but you like it?
Mystery, unreliable characters, poetic descriptions, Greek mythology, academia settings, autumn vibes, complex and toxic relationships...and off course, murder. This book has it all!

This book has it all, thrilling suspense, an exclusive club, intelligent misfits. Be warned, this book is impossible to put down. My personal favorite of all time.
