It's very tedious how authors just mimic other authors and don't do any research into paganuim or catholicism or in general how to banish evil spirits slash demons. They just do the same old shit about burning sage and oujia boards.
▪ “With a few things I snagged from Brandt’s room. He printed out some voodoo crap about vanquishing spirits. I guess in case things got out of control. There’s a small bag of weird stuff still in his room, too.”
Some anti black racism. Vodou is a closed religion and this white guy would not and should not be practicing it.
The plot points are pretty standard and contrived. It's like sleep walking theough a generic horror ghost story.
The plot is pretty flimsy. what the fuck ia this experiment anyways. the government / big brother wants to um.... weaponize ghosts? MKUltra up these teen children into super child soldiers??? Who the fuck knows, it's never explained.
The plot takes forever. Oh we're going to do something? Well, better hem and haw over it for at least five chapters. Children deserve better horror than this shit.
The underage sex scene was embarassing. You think teens fuck like a porn stars? Virgin children who never made fuck before? ok buddy.........................................................................
This is a childrens book. Irritatingly, storygraph doesnt list it as such. this at least explains how childish the writing is. The characters are pretty stereotypical tropes. Horny teens, one teen boy is a sexist asshole, one girl is the mentally unstable ps*cho, you got the female mc love interest. Slap that in a pot and publish it at dinner time.

medium cancer, child death, child abuse, alcoholism, forced institutionalized, schizophrenia, injuries, parental death, murder,
