Again another book that I received as an ARC, thanks to NetGalley and I went into this blind, like completely blind. The only thing that I knew about it was that it‘s YA horror book.
So I was surprised when I noticed that it‘s a novel in verse, which is the first novel in verse that I actually ever read. I wasn‘t sure if I was going to like it, but fortunately I began to love the style of this book. Not only because I felt like it was beautifully written but also the style made it so easy to read, which is why it took me less than 24 hours to finish it (also because I just couldn‘t put it down). I don‘t really know how to sum up the story because I am still wrapping my head around it BUT I can tell that I enjoyed it. It‘s about a cheerleader and a pact of the past with something that isn‘t specifically labeled as „devil“ or „demon“ but feels like one. This book is the first one I ever read by Rebecca Borrow, but I am sure it won‘t be the only one.
