3.0

I just finished reading so I have alot of scrambled thoughts but I had such high hopes for the ending while reading and it was so disappointing. Don’t think I’ll pick up any of the other books unless I'm really bored and can’t read anything else

If you know anything about my reading preferences, I hate paranormal explanations for the things that happen in books. That’s why this is getting 3 stars. I honestly would’ve have just love it if it was the horror version of Mean Girls, which is exactly what it was giving until the end/point of “explanation”

This book went left really quick and I was not ready for it. Jesus Danielle Vega can pull you into a scene and keep you there whether you like it or not.
