Roses and Rot by Kat Howard
A very Seanan McGuire-esque tale of two sisters who get selected to go to an artist retreat. Both sisters had a terrible childhood at the hands of their manipulative and abusive mother. But strange things are afoot at the retreat and all is not as it seems as the sisters are pitted against each other to see who will earn the ultimate prize from the retreat.
The book was very reminiscent of the style of The Wayward Doors sequences. Since Imogen, the eldest sister, is a writer there are a lot of digressions about writing and fairy tales. There are forays in to what it means to be a writer or the special daughter.
Enjoyable if you enjoy modern fairy tales.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
