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.

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

really loved the start of this book but then the whole demon, supernatural aspect kind of through me for a loop in a weird way. definitely found myself wanting to see it through, though. fun, fast read! don’t know if I’d continue the series, but I enjoyed it for what it was.
