This wasn't wholly what I was expecting. I really enjoyed the story and the atmosphere, but the characters didn't really work for me.

Story for the most part was okayish but it's the main character I had the problem with. She was irritating, selfish and putting everyone at risk. Her friends were also people I couldn't connect to, at all. Her mom has to be the most neglectful mom ever to be written as a caring one, seriously! The jump scares were boring and the secrets in the elder generation were unnecessary and absurd. I'm glad I didn't go into 2021 believing in the hype of this book but instead of this, a children's book called Doll Bones was way more interesting. But probably the only two things that worked for me is native and folk tribe recognition, brujas and LGBTQ+ representation. But bi or not, unable to make a mind between two love interests and not being loyal to either won't ever be cool. For all the build up, the Jim thing resolved like it was nothing and the main climax looked like that of a Twilight Breaking Dawn Hallelujahs. So underwhelmed and disappointed even with my low expectations going in.
