This is now my favorite book. I love the characters, the fact that I felt like I knew these people in real life. Theo ripped my heart in two, Nick intrigued me beyond belief, and I felt Benji’s pain every step of the way. I felt punched in the gut, betrayed, stabbed in the back, and I resonated with so many emotions and thoughts. I totally recommend this to anyone during spooky season — if you can stomach it.

I would have rated this higher if

we had gotten a flash forward and seen them seven years down the line! I need to know they stay together!
