Slow start and kind of all over the place. A major plot point suddenly had already happened and it takes a while to even find out what happened. It was jarring. The writing itself is excellent, I just felt the overall story was disjointed, slow moving, had unnecessary scenes and was a bit confusing with the time jumps.

This story is compelling, convoluted, and creepy. 🙂
It also has the potential to be very triggering…
👻 For a novel about occult university societies, I was expecting a generous helping of sex, drugs, and (duh) occultism. 🔮 Maybe even some human sacrifice. 💀But I was really bothered by the (very unexpected) rape of a 12 year old by a ghost. 😱 Enjoy this tale at your own risk.
The ending was excessively full of twists that broke the story’s flow and believability.
