It felt far too much like YA when it’s not marketed as such. I was expecting horror with inspiration taken from Native American folklore and instead got teenage angst about a girl who doesn’t fit in anywhere

If you are looking for a new, emerging author to grow with as they continue to publisher banger after banger…. read Nick Medina!

After reading a short story of his, finding out he had two novels was exciting. I ripped and roared through this novel and I’m a little sad to put it down.

There are some heavy themes and to “enjoy” a story like this is inappropriate to describe this as. I enjoy the writing. I enjoy the character development, but the plot of this story is too real to enjoy.

I am starting my MA again soon and I hope to focus on this author as a main influence.
