đŤ I hated these books. Although Sibby was a fun character and this novella was a fun spin I am still not a fan.
I have a lot of thoughts about what I read and a lot of mixed feelings.
The writing, while brutally explicit at parts, somehow managed to come off childish at the same time. I felt like I was reading a story off of Wattpad that an angst filled middle schooler wrote.
I thought the premise held potential. The setting was something I was really interested in, but the overall tone had me rolling my eyes. I can handle horror novels, dark romances, etc., but this was something else entirely.
*The rest of the review contains spoilers*
The one thing I really liked about the story was Silbyâs backstory. The whole cult, abusive father storyline was interesting and helped me better understand Silby and her motivations. I wish there was more of that.
I think I could wrap my head around the whole plot, the entire story we read, being a delusion. However, the mental health representation made me feel so icky. I know people arenât reading this story for proper mental health representation, but I think negative portrayal of mental illnesses only perpetuates stigmas surrounding mental illnesses.
I read this book before going into Haunting Adeline since it was recommended to me. I can handle dark themes and horror, but itâs annoying when those themes arenât brought into the story in an interesting way.

I regret reading this after Hunting Adeline. I didnât have it at the time and I was impatient but I think it ruined the experience of reading Sibbyâs story with the things I knew from Hunting Adeline.
This one for me was a bit more gory and a harder read than Haunting and Hunting Adeline.

I'm giving this five 5 âď¸. It's so good. It will keep you so into this story. There's a big twist at the end. I would read this first, then Haunting Adeline and last Hunting Adeline. They didn't have Satan's Affair at my book store when I found Haunting and Hunting. Sit back and enjoy the ride she takes you on.

I may come back to this one day but itâs a dnf for now.
I am honestly not sure now I feel so I donât want to assign a star rating. The actual story intrigued me and definitely held me in a gripâŚ.and then mindfu**ed me in the end. My heart when out to Sibby and I did feel her pain. And I understood {partially} what she was doing and going through, because of what made her.
BUT m, for me, the gore was just too over the. Yes I read the trigger warnings, and no, gore doesnât bother me. But in this case it just felt like too much. Like a Saw movie.
But the story itself, the intro to Zade, and what was going to be coming in Haunting Adeline I loved!
