This…was…fine? This just didn’t do it for me. It read like YA, but with adult themes.

“How can a book hurt me?”
“See these symbols? My grandma always told me never to mess with that stuff.” Hector shook his head and handed the book back to her. “Seriously. You could get hurt.”
“They’re just symbols.”
Imagine if "devil wears Prada" and "mean girls" had a demonic baby, this book would be exactly that. Fast and fun, horror with a sprinkle of fashion industry and the ghouls that look glamorous but could eat you, literally. I picked this up for #transrightsreadathon as soon as I learned that there's a NB character and I didn't expect them to be this awesome and interesting. In the end you can literally hear the book whispering"hail seitan" or maybe it was Satan, I'm not sure, that might have been just voice in my head. You will need to read and find out yourself, what exactly lurks in the shadows of the blinds in glamorous building full of people and not exactly people. Also, the narrator was great and I loved every second of this book.
