this book just didn’t do it for me, which is surprising because i loved SBCGTSV and my best friends exorcism.
HTSAHH was a slower burn and much of the action happened in the final third, an issue i also had with Hendrix’s other two novels i’ve read - however i enjoyed the lead up and storyline of the other two much more. with this novel i was disinterested in the characters and struggled to develop attachments to them, making the read feel like a slog.
