General Description: Devon is trying to give her twin sister Drew the best summer ever before Drew graduates early. That means trying to get to know Drew's friends. However, when Drew's friends break out a Oujia book, Devin and her friends aren't too sure about Drew's friends. Then, when a demon begins to hunt the friends down, what can Devin and them do to avoid death? How can they fight a demon?
The good:
- The writing style/voice was very unique and I really enjoyed listening to this style.
- Some of the twists were extremely well done.
- I really appreciated the creepy vibes you got, especially in the demonic description. It was very well done.
- The resolution was satisfying and funny, I will definitely remember how this book ended!
The loss of a star:
- the audiobook narrator was not it for me, which made it harder to listen to and follow along
- There was a bit of predictability, which made the book not as enjoyable.
Overall, if you're looking for a unique YA thriller, this is a great one to try, but pick up the physical book over the audiobook.
