She compared someone to « the human equivalent of unsalted butter » 😂
Don’t get thrown off by the rating - I did enjoy this
What I liked
- Opal (like me) had to raise her brother and dedicated herself to working hard to provide a good life for him. I related to that 100%
- Good survival story
- Mystery/fantasy/horror
- Strong willed characters
- Stand-alone
- The magnificent cover
What I wasn’t a fan of
- When Opal fell into her victim era
- Miscommunication
- Sort of predictable
- The writing changed at the 50% mark
- I would’ve enjoyed a longer epilogue… I was left feeling a bit unsatisfied with the ending and I still have questions

Great review, Maeghan. The reviews for this one are all over the place. I just read one where it was their favourite read of the year so far. 🤗💕
Thank you Shelley!!! 💗💕 I know 😅 I think it’s the book with the most mixed reviews that I’ve ever come across!!! Some say it’s the worst they’ve ever read, some say it’s the best. For me it was in the middle! I liked it, and for the first 25% I thought it was going to be a 5🌟 but the writing switched :/
Miscommunication always ruining good books. At this point authors should throw that whole trope away.
Great review!! I have this on my TBR and saving for spooky season
So happy you enjoyed 😌. Lovely Review, Buddy🧡
I agree w your review especially opal falling into her victim era….
Glad you liked this one! ❤️️ It's too bad there was miscommunication in the story
@SK right??? Let’s throw this trope in the garbage! @DIVINITY thank you bb 💗 yes it’s definitely creepy!
@Utkarsh thank you my friend 💗💗
@jules happy you’re agreeing too!! She was so annoying at that part 😂
@Jenna thank you bb!!❤️
Great review babe! It's amazing you have raised your brother and have dedicated yourself to provide a good life for him! You should feel very proud 💜I still have this book on my TBR but I'm saving it for this spooky season, though the miscommunication is a bit discouraging 😂
ahhhh baaabeee sorry you weren't blown away by this!! i know you had high hopes! and i just went back into my reading activity to see if i had thoughts...and i did lol!😅 i really appreciated the same things you did, but i didn't really dig it like i wanted to! at least you were able to enjoy some of it though!💕
Unsalted butter 🤣. This review is not unsalted butter 😆💗.
So true, being in the right frame of mind to get lost in a book is my fave, and love that for you! I'm glad you somewhat enjoyed my gorgeous girl! Exquisite review! 💗🤍💗🌷
@Sara thank you beautiful 🥹💗It was pretty good tbh! I overlooked the miscommunication!
@Ivana it wasn’t the best but it was still enjoyable 🤭 thank you my golden ray of sunshine 💗💗💗🦋

Yayy i’m glad you had fun with this bby! That first sentence had me cackling🤣💗
@kendyl it took me out too!!!😂 I will be using this reference in the future for sure. Thank you my golden ray of sunshine ❤️🦋💗@Youssra it had me cackling too!!😂 I love it when authors put little funny things like this. Thank you beautiful!!❤️🦋
Fabulous review, Maeghan! Tons of mixed reviews for this one. 🖤🩷🖤The cover is gorgeous!
@Krystal thank you Krystal!!💗💗 you’re so right about the mixed reviews 😅 all over the place! The cover is indeed gorgeous 🤩
Unsalted butter 😂😂 Gah miscommunication why, must they continue with this 😫 happy that you enjoyed this despite some things love 💖
The first line lmao 😂😂 glad you managed to enjoy some parts of this and the cover is sooo beautiful 🫶🫶 but I'm sorry other parts weren't as good- miscommunication is the worst 😭😭😭 love this review bb, hope your next read is better 🥹🥹🩷🩷
@April i know!!!! Miscommunication trope has just been overused. It was ok when I was 13-14 but now it's just outdated!! Thank you my love 💗💗@Grace that line killed me 😂 thank you bbg!!!🥹🥹💗💗💗
