I had no idea what this book was about going into reading it and that definitely was my bad. I don’t tend to read dark or horror novels and this book reminded me why that is the case. 
The book seemed endless! I lost interest in the storyline especially when random gruesome scenes were thrown in there sporadically.
I also didn’t like any of the characters. They were either annoying or mean. I couldn’t really tell how old the FMC was because she acted like an adult, then a baby, then a teen all within a couple seconds.
When the moment came for the big “unmasking”, I wasn’t surprised as I saw it coming from miles away. I was more thrown off by the FMC suggesting other random characters. I rolled my eyes at her stupidity.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the book but I do want to know what happens in the second book. 2.75 stars
