SYNOPSIS
Stuck in a wilderness boot camp for delinquent teens, Spooky is determined to keep her head down & survive the summer. But trouble seems intent on catching her. Stranded in the middle of the woods after a night gone awry, she comes face to face with something ancient & powerfulโsomeone hoping to catch a human alone.
As Spookyโs world spins out of control, she is forced to summon all her courage & become the unexpected heroine of the storyโbecause, if ONE god wasnโt bad enough already, a whole pantheon of dark entities are lining up between her and the life sheโs always wanted...
REVIEW
The author takes our imagination to a whole new level, with an original & mystical world-building, flourishing with both color & detailโwhere we are introduced to eccentric characters, bizarre creatures & magical bargains that will completely blow your mind.
As we embark on a thrilling adventure with the protagonists, we slowly come to understand their backstoriesโwho they truly were before ending up at the camp, who theyโre fighting for & why. I especially loved how Spookyโour main girlโwas able to overcome her usual limits, learning & discovering in the process, her own identity & potential. Her character growth was immensely beautiful & moving towards the end.
What I enjoyed most were the peculiar descriptions & vivid imagery, such that I often had to pause & re-construct the whole picture in my mind, as they were unlike anything Iโve ever read! If youโre looking for a read to keep you deeply intrigued & thoroughly surprised, THIS is the book.
OH and PLEASE let there be a sequel โก
