“You’re not normal?”....
 “The interesting people never are.... "

This book was delightfully disturbing. Sibil gives Harley Quinn vibes but more unhinged. Quick read but such a wtf roller coaster. Chock full of triggers so proceed with caution.

I feel like Haunting/Hunting Adeline were better written than this spinoff. Maybe if I had read Satan’s Affair in between the two books I would feel differently, but then it would have given away much of Hunting Adeline. It was good, but just not as WOW as the other 2.

sibby is my spiritual guide. I love everything about this girl. she overcame such a terrible upbringing, and (even though she might not always make the best decisions) she used her pain (and crazy) for what I personally consider a good cause. I was laughing anytime she had her henchmen doing things for her,

knowing that they don't actually exist.

I wish this book went more into detail about HOW Sibby killed get father and escaped the cult, we never get a complete story about her past which frustrated me.
