While there is no incest in this book

the main character has one line where she implies to her sister's boyfriend that she loves her as much as he does, which given all other descriptions of their relationship in this book, reads to me as incestuous. But also, I don't have siblings, so this line might have been meant entirely as sisters.

Na ezeket a fordulatokat nem láttam előre, az biztos.

Másoknak talán egyértelmű lett volna, de ez talán azért lehet mert még kifejezetten új vagyok a horror műfajhoz.

Nagyon élveztem, a narratíva nagyon elképzelhető volt a karakterek pedik csodásak.

Imádtam Vivit és Iris is meglepően jó és talpraesett főszereplő volt. Grey egy teljesen más kategória, de mint karakter őt is nagyon bírtam. Megérthető volt mindannyiuk motivációja.

Az csak bónuszt adott a tetszéshez hogy Vivi leszbikus és a rock bandája Budapesten is fellépett (akkor is ha ezt nem láttuk szó szerint, csak megemlítve volt)

This book was so fantastic. I was in quite a reading rut before picking this up, and I feel thoroughly cured and refreshed now. I could hardly put this down, the plot was so compelling. Though this is not marketed as a mystery or a thriller, I found those aspects of the story to be very strong. The descriptive writing has described scents almost hitting you at the back of the throat as a reader, and the twists in the plot were awesome. I would definitely recommend this book if you like horror! Such an inventive and creative genre.

I love Sutherland's unique brand of feminist witchy tales so so much. This book absolutely complimented my read of The Invocations earlier this month. The power of sisterly love, and girls who are traditionally seen as weak using their power to thrive - similar themes are seen in both novels and I loved both iterations. Quickly becoming one of my favorite authors!

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. This was super eerie and creepy and even with all the vibes, the plot actually managed to close itself properly, which is really impressive
