I feel betrayed by all the people who told me not to read this book. It’s fantastic! 
The world is soo intriguing, I‘m so fucking invested in all the main characters and the plot just never stopped. 
Currently trying to stop myself from immediately reading Hell bent. Do check the trigger warnings because the book doesn’t provide them tho!!

I’m usually fine with horror and books with dark themes, especially  if I know what I’m getting myself into. However I had to stop at 25%; the ridiculousness of
Alex being sexually assaulted by a ghost in a bathroom where she just had her very first period
on top of the fact that the reason behind her
drug dependency being that it makes her not see the ghosts
was just too much cliche cringe to bear. This book should have been a 5⭐️ read for me but it fell so flat due to the gratuitous trauma porn the author kept throwing in out of left field. It felt like Bardugo wanted so badly to prove herself as an Adult Writer™️ by trying to add in as much shocking content as they could squeeze in but instead of making me feel shocked, I just felt second-hand embarrassment for Ms. Bardugo’s writing skills.
