Gave me exactly what I wanted and expected from it. A quintessential YA horror/thriller. The reviews complaining about the demon turn the story takes missed some very heavy-handed "hints" (they were direct statements) early in the book.

Initially I was uncomfortable with the depiction of sociopathy, but as the story carried on and it seemed more intentional, it made more sense. I can't claim that it's good sociopathy representation, especially given the year it was published, but at the very least it seemed more sensitive than offhand comments that are still tossed around nowadays.

Honestly, I didn't expect that this series would be for me, but I'm now considering continuing, especially if I can get ahold of audiobooks.

ableism about psychotic/sociopathic disorders, both external and internal; a couple brief but detailed scenes of voyuerism; extremely detailed scenes of mortuary business/handling of corpses

This book is disturbing, gruesome, and horrid. Yet it is so interesting. I was on the edge of my seat the WHOLE book, and really enjoyed the journey of John 😭

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
