*This book was received for free as a part of a Goodread’s Giveaway*
A very delicious (haha) thriller. It was really easy to read through, and I was eager to read more as I went on. I was overall satisfied with the read!
While I adore the premise and the exploration of it in the book, I do feel like there wasn’t much time for the protagonist to have some ‘fun & games’ before she spent much of the time worrying about a serial killer and passing out at the end of every other chapter. The ‘Black Swan’ comparisons are accurate to a point, but don’t expect the book to be much of an introspective one.
I love the protagonist’s exploration of her own power and the scenes where she embraces how it’s turning her into a monster, although I’m not entirely sure how the in-universe mechanisms of the supernatural aspects beyond that work.
I understand the ‘demon god gives powers for blood sacrifice’ thing, but I got lost at the supernatural areas with bright lights/poisonous plants that the characters kept returning to just to chat with each other.
Overall, I’m glad I got to read this, but I kind of wish it was more focused on the protagonist’s own life and world instead of juggling that with supernatural aspects and other characters that aren’t explored to a satisfying degree.
