Kept You Guessing. It was a twisty and turny mystery with small windows into the messy depths or human interaction. I would recommend this book to lovers or history, art, and mysteries that take a few turns when solving

Okay but…. Story stated off great and then just kind of fell apart somewhere in the middle. The ending was predictable . Too bad because the theme of the story had so much potential . Found the book lackluster

Meh. This had a lot of potential but I found it shallow.

Love Dark Academia. The Cloisters is about a 25 year old named Ann Stilwell who essentially ran away from home due to the grief that plagues her after her father’s death. She ends up in New York City, with a curatorial job at the MET. When she arrives, the job she was originally signed up to work fell through. By happenstance, another faculty staff member is in need of summer help, and Ann agrees to sign on right away. Her new job will no longer be at the MET, but at the Cloisters which is a medieval / Renaissance time period art museum. The area of her work seems to touch upon some work that her mentor had been working on, so naturally it seemed that Ann was a good fit. The sexual tension flows through the Cloisters, with Ann having her eyes on Patrick (the staff member she’ll be working for), his assistant Rachel, and the garden groundskeeper Leo. The book follows Ann and her adventure through the hallways of the Cloisters. Will they be able to find evidence of what Patrick is looking for and believes to be hidden somewhere in history? Is everything even as it seems?!? I picked this book up based on the summary alone. Because I love me some dark academia - especially when it surrounds topics of ancient texts & tarot. However, the opening of the book was quite predicable, at first. I mean, an older professor who was attractive and fatherly who also blurs lines of appropriateness and power. A weak female lead who tries to emulate the cool girl who may have a thing going on with that sexy professor? A bunch of sexual tension just burning through all of them, or was Ann imagining all of it?? Talk about a snooze fest! I was even able to guess who was going to end up being a psychopath. (I swear- you get used and abused by one in real life— you can spot them out easily ever after- in real life, movies, and in books.) However, even being able to predict who would be evil - there were quite a few twists & turns that I did not see coming. And what I thought was a snooze fest quickly turned into something that I couldn’t put down. Even though it was a relatively short book (it’s only 297 pages not counting the information at the end) - I still expected it to take me more than a couple days to read. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I ended up liking this book. And even if I was reading on with disgust and contempt towards a lot of unsavory characters, I still think that a book that can’t be put down should still be rated higher.
