This book is not good. Would not recommend. Unless you feel like reading about a traumatized girl get retraumatized by Bad writing- incredibly juvenile and cheesy; YA in a bad way. Characters are meh, they make stupid decisions and are unlikeable. Villains aren’t even given a reason for their malice and violence. Even the 2 “good” characters are immoral. Doing terrible shit to the people closest to you because of “rules”. Like just don’t. Not that hard. Heroine doesn’t even save herself, Talk about overplayed horror tropes. Only reason this isn’t 1 star is bc the plot is admittedly intriguing. I angry finished this book.
