i literally hate all of the characters except etíenne (if that's even how you spell it) & nina's aunts. and quite literally both parties were in the book very little. the only main character i would say i lowkey like was hector & gaétan. listen, i'm a feminist & i'm all "women supporting women," but i hope valérie fucking  burns in hell & i am glad she got what she deserved. literally no ounce of sympathy. none. she literally was satan in human form. like she is what dark energy feeds off of.

but overall, not too bad of a book. it had me hooked at some parts, but the drama & tension especially towards the end had me FUCKED up lol
