I will say that McGinnis is great at writing extremely dark characters, and this absolutely shines through the book. There isn't really anyone you want to root for, as everyone in the cast has a dark secret hidden somewhere. This is fast-paced and dark and very much feels like a Poe story. Perhaps not my favorite book so far this year, but you can't deny that it's well written and does suck you in.

There was unquestioned crappy treatment of a biracial character, love streaming of a nude under aged boy too drunk to consent to anything and hazed in dangerous and horrific ways by peers, and rampant drug and alcohol use. It was-a miss!
