I liked it. It was intense and kept me wondering what was going to happen. And the ending!!! Did not see that coming.

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.

theutterotter's review

This book was vary too dark and gruesome for me. I got to the scene with the mace and had to call it there.

Description of the mace scene:

She hunts down a man she believes to have raped his girlfriend (I believe he did though I didn't finish the book), then cuts off one of his arms and breaks all the fingers on the other hand, breaks his feet, and tells him to run. When she catches him, she rapes him with a mace, essentially disemboweling him through his anus, and it is very descriptive. She is also sexually aroused the entire time and spends a lot of time musing on the sex she's going to have directly after this.

“You’re not normal?”....
 “The interesting people never are.... "

This book was delightfully disturbing. Sibil gives Harley Quinn vibes but more unhinged. Quick read but such a wtf roller coaster. Chock full of triggers so proceed with caution.

I hadn't read anything about this book before reading but I had seen Haunting/Hunting Adeline everywhere.
The first chapter had my jaw on the floor .
The detail in this book is unmatched by anything I have ever read.
This is the first horror I have ever delved into and It was incredible, I didn't really know where the story was going to go and THE TWISTS!! 
Just brilliant.

I feel like Haunting/Hunting Adeline were better written than this spinoff. Maybe if I had read Satan’s Affair in between the two books I would feel differently, but then it would have given away much of Hunting Adeline. It was good, but just not as WOW as the other 2.
