“I loved Robins badass take no prisoner attitude. I found myself relating to her jaded personality and her attraction to multiple genders. I liked that she recorded her witch hunts for Youtube because it helped balance out all the paranormal elements and made her feel more grounded in our world. I'm glad we got to see a little bit of Robins struggle with getting off her psych meds. I felt like Robin and Kenways romance was really supportive and well matched. Kenways a war vet who had his leg amputated and seen his friends die, while Robin saw her mother die, was unwillingly given shock therapy at the psych ward for talking about witches, and then faced dozens of life threatening situations fighting witches. They're both survivors who have seen more terrible stuff than most.
I thought the different points of view were better utilized and seemed to have more of a purpose in this sequel. It also felt like we got more of Robin's point of view. I liked their little friend group and how determined they were to help Robin. Joel was one of my favorite characters because he always had the best comebacks and constantly made me laugh. We get a bit of the serial killers perspective which added a level of creepiness to the story. It was nice meeting Robin's mentor and some of the members from his old cult. The relationship between Robin and her mentor wasnt at all what I was expecting but I really enjoyed it. I also liked seeing the attachment Robin and one of the witches had from when she was a child.
In this sequel Robin confronts the witches that started it all and get revenge. We learn more about Robins family and the paranormal cult. The foreshadowing was a little too obvious for my taste, but the reveals were still exciting and there were some twists I didnt see coming. As more elements came into play the stakes got higher and that's probably why I enjoyed it more than the first book. We get an epic showdown with serial killers, a massive shapeshifting hog, and a mob of cat familiars. The pacing was consistent with suspense and action throughout, but at one point 'rasped the voice' is repeated like five times on one page and it totally took me out of the story.
This is set in a small Georgia town that has been taken over by four of the most powerful witches in america. The horror vibes and grotesque descriptions made my dark heart sing. We learn more about demons and how the red lord came to be trapped in Robins old house. I thought it was interesting how witches get their power and how they have a speciality they are good at like illusions, transformation, or divination. We also see more of the magical ring that opens doors to random places. Since so many questions were answered I'm not sure what direction the third book will go in, but I'll definitely be reading it.
*received for an honest review”
“This was a wild ride from start to finish. Absolutely unhinged and intense and I loved it. Was it gross and horrific? Yes. But was it also romantic and deeply touching with found family vibes and an extremely fleshed out cast of characters? Also yes. If you love unhinged horror but also love found family, mental health representation, alcoholism representation, disability representation, and a ton of queer characters, give this a go!”About S. A.
