Thank you NetGalley and Random House Children's for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
The plot itself was really good and the story pulled you in. I did think the dialogue and a lot of the character interactions were very akwardly written and forced, but that improved a bit as the book went on. There were also a surplus of dividing comments and character descriptions, which was unpalatable. Side note: that was the most awkward "getting together" scene ever. Very cringey and not how I was expecting it to go, especially after the nice build up. The story picked up very quickly and was action-packed and twisty. Once it got moving, it pulled you in and had fast pacing throughout, which was great. The story itself was really great and I didn't want to put it down. I liked the blend of realistic scenario and fantasy, as well as the sapphic aspects and cult vibes.
