this is one of the most underrated books I've read all year WOW. the writing is stunning, the twists had my jaw in hell (no pun intended), and the mixed media helps maintain engagement. plus i heard the Edinburgh vibes are fully accurate so there's that in and of itself.

for fans of The Last House on Needless Street, Babel, or Black Sheep by Rachel Harrison.

I loved this book. From page 1 I was hooked and didn't like putting it down to participate in life. Just wow. The ending was one of the best! Highly recommended.
