** spoiler alert ** OKAYYY, I know I'm a bit late... like a whole month late (talking to my book club) but omgoshh. So first off. I got a Kindle on Friday... and I do not care... YOU READ LIGHTNING SPEED on that thing. it's literally insane. The way a book I was reading for two months turned into like 4 days and then done was crazy. But on to the book.
Okay so at first the book was slow, too descriptive for me and all that. BUT WHEN I TELL YOU... It hit that scene where the gama ghost thing slammed her head into the refrigerator at a gas station and I was like WHATTTT. And Ive been in my seat ever since. It ended up being so good to me. And definitely has show potential. Like those teen shows like TVD, Supernatural, Teen Wolf. Like it ate. Like after those over a 100 pages of slowness it was totally worth it. I forgot about how slow the start was. I honestly feel like the book didn't start until that scene lol. I loved my main girl Alex, she was straight-up savage after she was done pretending and I loved it. I loved Dawes, I wish I learned a bit more about Darlington though. Maybe I'll get that in the next book.
I do want to read the second one.
There was some TWs tho... Her and her friend went through some crazy stuff.

It takes a while to really get going. The first time I read this I got stuck in the first quarter and didn’t finish. But once you get past that first bit it’s really good

A modern fantasy thriller where magic is real and secret societies at an Ivy League school delve it out to the rich and powerful. You follow the flawed main character during her freshman year working for the society who serve as a kind of magic police department to keep the other societies in check. A person disappears, someone is murdered, there’s twist and turns. There is some dark stuff in here. If SA is triggering for you, don’t read this. Looking forward to the sequel.

What a ride. At first I was genuinely annoyed by all the references to history & literature, etc I definitely did not understand, but damn did the story sink its teeth in until I was just willingly eaten alive. Hell Bent here I freaking come.
