Well damn - shit escalated!

That was SO creepy and I probably would be terrified to watch a movie adaptation of this if it ever happened - haha

So far this series is just SO engrossing for me. It is like watching a movie a little bit -- the setting comes to life, the characters come to life... and the MYSTERY of it all! I'm absolutely hooked

I'm very much rooting for Evie and Sam to be endgame... and Memphis & Theta are SO ADORABLE oh my god I love them. And it looks like maybe Henry will get at least a blossoming romance? I hope so, because he wants love in his life and he deserves love in his life -- I adore him as a character.

Ling was a great addition to this little ragtag crew also and I'm so interested to see how she fits in with everyone now that she has met everyone else.

Oh, this one hits different in a post-Covid world. :)

That being said, this is still my favorite book in the whole series, mostly because I would both kill and die for Ling Chan, disabled autistic ace-spec mean lesbian extraordinaire. <3 I literally don't even have coherent thoughts about this book, it's just so fucking good!! It's fun, spooky, and it both breaks and warms my heart at the same time, and I swear every time I read it those 600 pages feel even shorter. And that final meeting scene?? These angsty 1920s teenagers are my Avengers.

While this book didn’t scare me as much as the last, I think that actually hinders the book more than helped it. There’s wasn’t a sense of urgency or a time limit that had me flipping page after page to find out what happens. The character development was good and I continue to like each character. Sam and Evie’s storyline was my favorite.
