Y'all! This reminded me why I love dark academia. It was atmospheric, spooky, and actually scared me at times. I loved the writing and the characters and the plot and twists had me on the edge of my seat. My reactions to this book were completely obscene; cringing in fear, gasping in shock, even holding back tears a couple of times. I loved how it incorporated second person POV, and how scary the devil was made to be. I don't think this book will be for everyone, but it was definitely for me. The perfect Autumn/spooky season read!

I expected more depth in the mystery premise of the story but it wasn't that engaging. The climax was underwhelming for me, but the overall concept of the story was interesting–just wasn't executed well. I like the relationship between Tess and Eliot but their dynamic didn't fully capture me, there was something missing to completely make it work for me. I empathize with Tess though, her struggles as  a sister who have to be strong and reliable for her younger sister. That made me invested in her character. I'll definitely subscribe to future stories from Tori Bovalino!
