This was a book my friend chose for Book Club, and I had increasingly high hopes for it, being such an intriguing concept! 

Unfortunately it didn’t quite hit the spot for me. The gore was necessary but felt overdone some of the time. It also felt as though Maryse would be struggling during a fight and then somehow (almost) immediately be able to kill the Ku Kluxes off; it lacked build up.

It did make me happy towards the end, where Maryse connects to some special people in the end ❤️
When she sees everyone coming, having been led by Sadie, it warmed my heart 🥹


I am giving it 3.5 out of 5 stars, thank you ✨
