The concept for this book is great, a world where ghouls can live a “normal” life and society has made accommodations. The main character and her friends go to a music festival in the desert where ghouls are mysteriously becoming feral. It’s a little genre-bending because it’s creature horror, with a mystery aspect, and a lot of gore. The writing seems immature in some areas, and some words were repeated too often for me. The descriptions of characters came off abrasive instead of thought out. It’s a cute coming-of-age sapphic story, but it could have been better. It was an easy read and fast to get through. I do think this would be a great tv show because we need more sapphic horror in the world.

Really cool concept and such cute friendships and wlw romance. Hated the lesbian character being in love with a straight girl trope (you win some you lose some). The plot twist was really predictable and even though the book came with a trigger warning page it didn’t talk about the racism in the book? Which is off-putting to me especially when reading from non-black authors, paired with the first three pages being like, “This is Zoey, this is Zoey’s Black friend, this is Zoey’s white friend, and this is Zoey’s Latina friend”. Like it just gave me an icky feeling having the characters introductions being reduced to their race. I don’t know if maybe I had a bad copy because there was also some grammatical errors and my epilogue chapter says “ehilogue” so idk. All that aside it was still a fun story to read, I just don’t think I’ll be picking up anything else from this author.
