A baptism of spicy booktok fire 🔥 🌶️  no spoilers but there is a strong possibility of losing one’s stomach contents whilst reading this. Never sure ‘til you explore but safe to say gratuitous violence is not my spicy thang… and I still don’t like clowns 🤡 Maybe it’s just me getting old but I remember when demon hunting was Buffy and the Scooby Gang with geriatric Giles enjoying nice cup of tea and the occasional whiff of a shag. This is definitely not that 😂 In saying all of this, I did develop a character crush on Sibby. Forget lads on tour in the dolls house it’s 100% girls run the world 🌍 and that is what elevated this to a solid 3 stars.

There’s a good plot buried DEEP underneath the unnecessary gore and shock value of this novella. The main character is twisted with an interesting backstory but she’s written poorly along with the rest. I know trigger warnings are presented by the author but I was not prepared for just how nonchalantly dark themes would be presented here. And the author makes gross generalizations about various addictions and mental illnesses. I will read the following book in the series as it is my understanding that it has little to do with this one. However, I am not expecting much.

It was recommended that I read this before Haunting Adeline. I’m a little shocked. Not my normal cup of tea, but that seems to be the trend with the last two books I’ve read now. I would say a solid 3/5 for the twist at the end. The rest of it I felt like I was reading just to get through it so I can read the next book. Not trying to yuck someone else’s yum, but not quite for me.
