Oh my god… I have no words. Absolutely none... I don't write much reviews so bear with me here.

I went into this semi-blind, taking the content warnings into consideration. And I'm glad I didn't go into this blind because I don't think my mental health could handle it.

This book literally excelled my expectations and to be honest, this book kept me locked in so hard that I had to force myself to put it down (yes it's that good). A complete 10000/10 and a definite reread. 

If you are someone that plans on reading this, please do look up the content warnings as this book has a lot of touchy subjects.

the pace of this book was so good, it was plotted so well!! i loved Chiamaka and Devon they were compelling interesting characters. i liked the subversion of  white characters like jamie who would’ve been main characters or love interests in other books. overall a really good but intense and scary mystery. but do check the trigger warnings. also the epilogues!!!!! i liked them a lot and all in all i really liked this book will definitely be reading her next books when they come out
