mehsi's review against another edition
4.0
Re-read 2020: A great book and I had tons of fun reading it, though I would have definitely pulled off the ring longer if I had noticed that it made me feel weird. I mean come on, everyone could see it was all about the ring. I also found the milord and milady on the one hand cute, on the other hand creepy. Also I had a laugh that no one noticed whose ring it was until the end.
Bethany's change was creepy and while I was a bit unhappy with her, but then again, with the ring controlling her she couldn't help it. The ending was a bit creepy but I also would have liked a bit more. We suddenly switch to an epilogue and I would have loved more before that had happened.
I still got a few of these Creepover books left to reread so I can't wait!
----------------------------------------------
This was a good book, however there were also things I hated.
First things I liked:
1. The historical stuff. We have quite a background about 2 people and their little town.
2. Possession (through ring). One of my favourite settings, someone possessed by someone/something.
3. Lissa and her friends. I really liked them, they were interesting and fun. Though it was kind of unbelievable how fast they became friends with Bethany.
4. The cover. Creepy with a dash of romantic.
Now the bad things:
1.Bethany, I know, I know, she was under the spell of the ring, but it was just excruciating to read from her point of view. She was annoying, jealous and whiny. Her self-esteem was super low. She kept ranting about Nate, and him being mean, and him probably dating or looking at other girls. Oh boo hoo. I felt sorry for Nate. I cannot for life imagine why he would stay with her. At the end? I was happy she
2. The switching of POVs, we had 3 this time. Nate, Lissa and also Bethany. At times it was just confusing who was chatting/thinking this time.
As you can see only a few bad things and mostly good things, so 4 stars. Though I had hoped for better.

I found the plot twist was really obvious and not very good. Not my favourite creepover book in the series.

I feel like once you've read the synopsis for this book, you can just read the epilogue because there's nothing left to learn. It's decent for a midgrade but it doesn't even really excel from there.
