a fast pace fantasy-horror-blood bath! theres so many characters its hard to keep track of who is who, but
they most all end up dead so its not worth remembering their names
. I found the Nessa's absolute devotion to Anto a bit annoying, but if its the only thing keeping you going, go for it girl. 

Conner was also annoying and im a bit miffed his storyline very much ended abruptly
with nessa killing him
and with no real resolution of
deal w the fae to end the pact
, like it just ends!! I know theres a sequel so hopefully that picks it up some.

Otherwise, a good quick story! its definitely brutal in the torturing of the kids but tbh it was so intense you couldnt put it down. Theres tiggering subjects (body horror, a lot of death, etc), but the characters rarely react strongly to it.

Highly recommend the audio book for the authentic irish accent experience.
