REVIEW

4 out of 5

This was an interesting, complex, and at times dark coming of age novel with plenty of paranormal elements. The story starts off with you right in the midst of a nightmare, both figuratively and literally, and doesn’t slow down from there. It did feel like we should know more about the world before diving in, with the way things are written. It took a little bit to fully parse out what was happening in chapter one, but by the time you reach chapter two, it’s a lot easier to understand and follow along. The descriptions are quite vivid, and some of them can get a bit gruesome, although not overly gorey. Overall, definitely recommend to YA or older readers.
