This is a gripping literary thriller that left me breathless! When the Satanic Panic hits small-town New Hampshire, 14 year old Lacey Bond loses everything - her parents, her sister, her innocence, and even her identity. I was completely captured by this gutwrenching narrative where the only justice is that which you seize for yourself. The portrayals of PTSD and trauma in this book were so relatable and vivid. And to be honest, I just wanted to give Lacey a hug by the end for what she had endured.

dark emotional sad medium-paced

2.5

The writing is really good and I think the story was told well. I just felt no joy while reading it. Not quite "trauma-porn", but everything just kept getting worse and darker and idk. Don't recommend if you want a fun read.
