This was a great read with lots of occult, lore, sex, and camp. It reads like a B-flick horror movie from the 70's.

Plot had too many threads and too many plot holes. The romance between Kei and Simon felt unbelievable and the whole incest side plot was a lot. The characters were super unlikeable (in Elaine, Simon, and Tommys case), and the book felt more like a thriller than an actual horror novel. The "scares" felt lackluster and while the satanists were interesting, the plot didn't focus enough on the actual fun stuff. I wanted more satanic rituals and murder.

It has quite a handful of elements that I think are in there for shock value but are decently well done. I think it really embodies gothic cringe/shock. I would say if you want something weird and dark this is a good book for that.

this was a pretty boring read. I skimmed most of it, definitely not enough witchy / Satan worship involved and I'd hardly call it a horror novel. the way the characters interacted with eachother was so odd and cartoonish

In a 450 page novel I usually read 100 pages to see if it is worthy of my time...I read 150 pages and what a snooze fest!
