I feel so mixed with how I feel about this book. Whilst it definitely hooked me in (I read it in 2 days), I felt I couldn't root for the lead character of Millie, as she ends up being essentially as bad as The Winchesters to the point where it leaves self defence territory and becomes equally as abusive in my opinion. That being said I didn't find the plot predictable and it kept me guessing. I did think the writing style was occasionally a bit cringe but I'm still excited to read the following instalments to see what happens!
