Tässä kirjassa ei varsinaisesti ollut mitään kauheaa vikaa. Premissi ja teema oli kiinnostava. Pidän tällaisesta noituutta ja akatemiaa yhdistävästä kirjallisuudesta, jossa vielä käsitellään naisten vimmaa, raivoa ja kostoja, mutta jotenkin kirja ei kuitenkaan yltänyt sinne, minne ehkä yritti yltää. Runsas päihteidenkäyttö ja muistamattomuusjaksot sekoittivat kirjaa entisestään ja loppujen lopuksi kirja tuntuu aika sekavalta.

Harmi, koska tavallaan kuitenkin viihdyin ja olisin halunnut tykätä tästä paljon enemmän.

I like it a lot ut had good rhythm and did make me want to keep reading it. I devoured it in like 2 big sittings. But it was a little disjointed in areas and when had happened to Emily Frost was a bit of a let down as I expected a way more interesting reveal as it fell kinda flat. But would I recommend the book. Yes if you like fast paced and quick books.

chaptersofamylea's review against another edition

DNF @ page 113 

This felt very Pretty Little Liars meets The Craft but NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. If the first 100 pages had more promise I would’ve continued but I’m actually gutted that this book fell flat for me.

TWs to page 113: missing persons, ref to suicide, drug use, death of a parent, ref to physical child abuse, child neglect
