I flew through this book in one sitting, I could not put this book down, I HAD to know what was happening. I highly highly enjoyed this book, even though this book took a few twists I usually cannot stand, I found myself going with the flow instead of getting pulled out of the story. Usually I hate when seemingly normal stories take a hard turn into paranormal with little to no build up. It happens out of left field and usually feels like the author didn't know what they actually wanted to do with the story. I Cannot say thats what happened here, while the turn into paranormal/ dark arts was unexpected it felt very solid and was backed up with an explanation of sorts. While not the most detailed of explanation, a secret society and people killing for power holds true for human nature and helped ground out the craziness of everything. There were quite a few shocking moments that left me gaping like a fish and absolutely stunned, Especially the epilogue, the change of character narration left me completely frozen, I've never NOT seen the final girl make it to the end. Well, Charity Did make it to the end in a way.... Absolutely fucking bonkers. While this book left me with so many questions I was so satisfied with how it ended slightly open so everyone can draw different final conclusions. Truly a wild well written ride.
