I thought the premise of the book was really interesting with secret societies and ghosts and things. I found it really hard to get into though, I thought the beginning was hard to follow and a lot of information overload. I honestly might read this a second time now that I've finished it and I think I'll probably like it a lot more because I'll know what's going on. The beginning switches between two POVs, but I feel like it was done in a way that was just more confusing than really adding to the storytelling, I actually liked the book way more after it just became Alex's POV.
