dark funny medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

1.75

inconsistent pacing, humor that didn't land for me, sometimes predictable twists, n an interesting premise that felt under-explored.

this is one of the worst books i’ve read this year, and just in general. the plot is incredibly misleading. the very early “twist” should’ve been mentioned in the synopsis, if it was i never would’ve read this. i think books should 100% mention if there are supernatural aspects, because that is a huge part of the book and something i don’t usually enjoy. the characters were flat and none of them were tolerable. the major plot twist is incredibly silly and just juvenile to me. overall, i don’t think this was written well at all and it was just silly, and not in a good way.

I didn’t know what this book was when I started it. I rented it based off of pure recommendation without research, so at first I wasn’t sure if this was a real account vs a work of fiction. So, that was fun to figure out. I’m glad I got to experience this with no warnings. 

I didn’t guess that

Lucifer was real

but I did guess that

Vesper would be sacrificed

, but I grew up with the Bible, so I feel like I had an unfair advantage. This book is basically takes Christianity and pours Satanic panic in thick. I don’t quite understand the dynamic between Vesper and her mom. I’m not sure if we are supposed to judge her by her works or her actions. She seems sad to me.
