I loved the setting and premise of the book, but the main character, Juliette was just insufferable imo. Another downside to this book was that I listened to the audiobook, and I just don't like the wat the narrator voiced the characters.

Seems to be missing a pre quel and seems like the fantasy element was only added to try and fix a plot hole

Hey look, I finally read this! It wasn't quite my thing? A bit more horror-y than I expected. But I'll still read the sequel.
