This was a solid (not standout, but solid) little supernatural horror story until the random reveal hit, and everything went kinda off the rails. I don’t know how no one told Jason Rekulak that

having a character who was forced to be trans, a child especially, by their atheist liberal parents

for no other reason than adding more shock value to your twist sucks, is

transphobic

, and is weak writing. I wouldn’t put people through this book knowing the author randomly decided to add that in without considering the real world politics it mirrors. Thank god a good Christian girl was able to save her, right?
