4.0

This book was a love letter to all the weird, slightly off putting girls who grew up loving witches and occultism and had a vast knowledge of obscure movies. Sooo basically me 😋

I would have probably rated it higher had there been no romance aspect but that’s just me.

This book does talk about nazis and eugenics, there being a hierarchy of races. The main characters are adamantly against that bullshit but it’s part of the cult’s background.
