I like it a lot ut had good rhythm and did make me want to keep reading it. I devoured it in like 2 big sittings. But it was a little disjointed in areas and when had happened to Emily Frost was a bit of a let down as I expected a way more interesting reveal as it fell kinda flat. But would I recommend the book. Yes if you like fast paced and quick books.

chaptersofamylea's review against another edition

DNF @ page 113 

This felt very Pretty Little Liars meets The Craft but NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. If the first 100 pages had more promise I would’ve continued but I’m actually gutted that this book fell flat for me.

TWs to page 113: missing persons, ref to suicide, drug use, death of a parent, ref to physical child abuse, child neglect

I really wanted to give this 5 stars but the ending falls flat for me. It was amazing, but the ending feels like it's there without much reason or explanation.
