“You’re not normal?”....
 “The interesting people never are.... "

This book was delightfully disturbing. Sibil gives Harley Quinn vibes but more unhinged. Quick read but such a wtf roller coaster. Chock full of triggers so proceed with caution.

Book was very interesting and fast paced. One downfall was there were irrelevant parts to it that seemed like they were added to drag the book out longer. There was good “spice” scenes in the book. The plot was very easy to follow, not confusing to follow. There was good gore as well. It ends on a cliffhanger!

I hadn't read anything about this book before reading but I had seen Haunting/Hunting Adeline everywhere.
The first chapter had my jaw on the floor .
The detail in this book is unmatched by anything I have ever read.
This is the first horror I have ever delved into and It was incredible, I didn't really know where the story was going to go and THE TWISTS!! 
Just brilliant.

I feel like Haunting/Hunting Adeline were better written than this spinoff. Maybe if I had read Satan’s Affair in between the two books I would feel differently, but then it would have given away much of Hunting Adeline. It was good, but just not as WOW as the other 2.
