I was hooked from the first chapter and devoured the entirety just over a 24 hour period. If you’re into spooky horror thriller with spice, stop what you’re doing and read this one.

While I could have done with about 75% less of the repetitive graphic sex scenes, I did really enjoy the concept of the book and found it very creative and entertaining. I liked the characters and absolutely loved the twist in the last 50 pages or so. I just felt it would have been a better read without all the superfluous porn.

This book irritated me towards the end. What is luci? It’s unclear what type of being she is. I’m so sick of the ya type trope of the so is secretly the instigator of it all. I think I’ll still read the next one.

The author used their own experience with OCD as a character traits for the MC and it really made her so in depth. Even though its technically a fantasy romance the elements of horror are very high - so be warned if you're thinking about reading this - and I personally loved it. Excellent chemistry, and i hear there's going to be a book twonto look forward to 👀

i really liked the representation of an OCD character in this book, such a cool way to show it that aligned so well with the book. i also love the concept of the game and the female characters being the toughest of them all. there were pieces of it that felt predictable or a bit rushed but overall i really enjoyed it!
