the pace of this book was so good, it was plotted so well!! i loved Chiamaka and Devon they were compelling interesting characters. i liked the subversion of white characters like jamie who would’ve been main characters or love interests in other books. overall a really good but intense and scary mystery. but do check the trigger warnings. also the epilogues!!!!! i liked them a lot and all in all i really liked this book will definitely be reading her next books when they come out
