Wow wow wow! Might be one of my top dark academia reads ever. This story was dark and gut punching. Was not expecting the ending to boil up to that. And I love the center around religion as the reader needs to decide what is truly good and evil, and what to do in those gray areas.

This is like the downfall of Paris Gellar but much less funny and too stuffy. There were aspects that I liked but I wanted more dimension.
