I’m hooked. There were a few really convenient plot devices that seemed a little out there, but I gave those a pass because this is YA. I can see a notable difference in her adult novels compared to this, which I appreciate. On to book 2!
Content Warnings
Graphic: Animal death, Death, Blood, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Toxic relationship
Minor: Bullying and Sexual content
Seduction via position of power. Parents: a couple of kisses and one passionate makeout scene with discussion of “coming to your room later” but no details beyond that.
