Y'all! This reminded me why I love dark academia. It was atmospheric, spooky, and actually scared me at times. I loved the writing and the characters and the plot and twists had me on the edge of my seat. My reactions to this book were completely obscene; cringing in fear, gasping in shock, even holding back tears a couple of times. I loved how it incorporated second person POV, and how scary the devil was made to be. I don't think this book will be for everyone, but it was definitely for me. The perfect Autumn/spooky season read!
