The Merciless by Danielle Vega
2.0
I picked this book up at a thrift store because I was intrigued by the vibrant pink cover.
Now that I've read it, I can say that the cover is the most interesting part.
As many others have said, it's basically an occult mean girls. Classed as horror, but not overly scary. Most of the "horror" was just gross. And the end, though a decent set up for a second book, wasn't as shocking or impactful as it could have been. Again, it was more gross than anything.
The only reason I'm not giving it one star is for Charlie's character, the only normal person in the whole book.
