This is a paranormal book that will leave you in shock....
This book is medium paced, I think around a month and a half passes from the start to end, but it's never mentioned. The beginning was quite confusing, but after 50 pages or so I understood what was happening.
The plot was extremely unique, I've definitely never read anything like it. A girl who is connected in some way to future-reading violence-loving paranormal creatures? Very interesting!
The characters were as developed as they needed to be. If more had been told, the book wouldn't be as gripping. Daisy was a fantastic protagonist, and I quite liked Nina.
I was delighted with the queer rep, a bi protagonist, sapphic sc, and enby sc. Megan, the non-binary friend of Daisy, speaks of the way people are transphobic to them, which was surprising considering it didn't link to the book's themes, but refreshing to know that authors aren't shying away from real issues even when they aren't plot-central.
