This book is a perfect horror story for bibliophiles with its grimoires, a haunted library, and a devil made of ink. The horror was definitely out of my comfort zone, but I still liked reading it and couldn't put it down. The subplots were very well done, and I loved Tess and Eliot as main characters. I didn't fully feel their romance, but it was sweet nonetheless. I liked all the magic, spookiness, and tension too (I think I'll have nightmares about ink and devils for the rest of the week). Some of the plot points and lore about devils seemed a little weak, and I would have loved more characterization and history from the devil to make the ending more meaningful. But overall, I think this book is quite well done. And the cover is gorgeous.
