I finished this right at midnight so I had to sleep before I could write a review.

Anyway, right away this book gave me supernatural vibes and I loved that. I enjoyed the little thoughts from Cas, and his friendship group dynamic was so fun.

I definitely enjoyed this book a lot and I felt it kept moving at a good pace so that you'd never get bored and want to put it down. The horror aspect was also pretty cool, and there's one part towards the end where I genuinely felt the fear as it was revealed. 

Now... *spoilers* ahead so be warned.

I kept yelling every time people were like "Anna you killed them" like yall know she did not. 🤣 She was cursed by her mom and the demon and you know it. She didn't want to kill and that was obvious when they freed her. It hardly counts as her killing all these people. She was a trapped, cursed ghost. Murdered and literally cursed by her mom's spells and a demon.

And they kept trying to say "She killed Mike" and I was like "he deserved it". Am I supposed to feel bad for Mike? He was a d*ck like Cas said. Karma do be like that. Will was so annoying by constantly taking Mike's side when they were the ones who hit Cas and locked him in with a murderous ghost. Their intent was to kill Cas for talking to Carmel (his ex btw) and he got what was coming to him. Absolutely ridiculous, and I'm glad Will died cause he was a douche by the end.


Excited for book 2.
