Twists and turns and shocking gore. This book held my eyes open when I didn’t want to know what was happening. A slow burn into a bloody, terrifying crescendo. I felt the ending wasn’t the strongest, but I was definitely impacted by the story. Can’t wait to read more of this author!

3.75

the majority of the book was really good (if not weird, especially when the author referred to the hole caused by the  ambrosia as things like ‘the hungry hungry hole,’ [why?]), but the ending was really disappointing. it just felt like the author didn’t know where to go with it, maybe.

then again,

the book is definitely a “we’re all in hell, bear witness to my guilt and allow me to make a deal with the devil” trope, so maybe that was the only way it could go.
