Okay, firstly I have to say, her writing style is fantastic. She writes with such detail, that you feel, smell and see what she is writing about and no detail is tmi. She writes so smooth that you could read for hours, and it feels like nothing. And also the character writing was amazing. I really enjoyed it. (Except for Trevor, he can burn in Birdland fr) This was my second horror/ mystery novel and I gotta say, I had to get into it at first. A lot of it is very Emo, which was not really for me, like the self harm and bloody kisses are a little much for me, like bitch please. Though when they had sex in the house that is haunted by the parents and baby brother of one of them... dear I say, that's pretty iconic. The pacing I really liked. Nothing felt too long, the filler didn't bother me that much, when they ended up getting high and ending up in Birdland, I was kind of disappointed though. The whole time, Trevor named pretty reasonable explanations for why his dad left him alive, so I thought the reveal of the actual reason would be huge and the most interesting twist of the whole book, but it was rather anticlimactic and unsatisfactory, which I think is the point, but still I wished for something else. But the thing that annoys me the most about this book is the couple, actually. At the end, I really hoped Zach would leave Trevor. I don't care how much he has changed, I don't care that he loves Zach, (even though they knew each other for like two days. Some Romeo and Julia shit going on here) Trevor was about to use Zach as a human tracksuit, nothing about this is healthy nor cute and you know it. But I gotta say, the story was really good, the setting was really fitting, I wanted to go for a New Orleans themed mystery novel and someone recommended this book to me, so yay. Really, really good book, I loved the writing, but a lot of things just didn't give me the satisfaction I wanted. Even if it was not supposed to be satisfying, but still. Four and a half stars.
