 I loved these characters. How much I enjoyed this book was surprising to me as I did not like House of Hollow. 

I think Zara was my favorite, but I also loved the other two. I was about to be so mad if the ship didn’t go canon by the end. 

This book is for the grotesque girlies that love reckless teenage girls fucking with demons and necromancy. The aesthetic of the girlies + the atmosphere *chefs kiss*. 

I wish this wasn’t the end, but it seems to be😪. I have Krystal’s writing a second chance and I will be giving it a third, this time to try to exceed what this book did. 

I’m gonna miss these characters I fear ☹️

P.S. we all need a Bael in our lives..
