I’m honestly not sure how to feel about this one. It kind of felt like a really weird fever dream. I liked the psychological aspect and there was something compellingly readable about it. However, the twist wasn’t for me and it was a bit too gory/graphically detailed for me personally at times 🤷‍♀️

Here’s a fair warning (and light enough that it isn’t necessarily a spoiler): there’s supernatural elements. The book caught me off guard with them but I stayed and found it a good read. Now that might not be everyone’s jive so keep it in mind.

A darkly compelling introduction to this YA series. Part murder mystery/whodunit, part supernatural monster hunter I found the protagonists uniquely compelling in his plight to embrace just the right amount of a darkness inside himself. After finishing this book and learning it had a sequel there was no hesitation. I thoroughly enjoyed this read.

Took off just a little bit for the supernatural aspect - I think the book would have been more effective without. Regardless SUCH a good book. One of the best of the year. So spooky, heartfelt coming of age wrestling with demons baby Dahmer style cool take
