2.5/5
This started off strong! I was hooked from the beginning. Lux is a talented writer who clearly understands the human condition. Her writing was deep, moving, lyrical, and thought provoking. I was excited by the premise of the story, but all the good things ended here for me. I saw a lot of people saying they were invested in the story that took place in Hell but did not enjoy the story surrounding the Harrisons. I actually felt the opposite. I hope that Lux writes a contemporary/literary drama soon because I personally think that's where her talents lie.
I am definitely the kind of person who needs a satisfying ending. I can hang in for a mediocre reading experience and if the end ties it all together I can still rate the book a 3.5/4. The ending was the most disappointing part of all tbh.

Great review...I felt exactly the same! I was in the minority just giving this 3 Stars...made me think I must have missed something?!
Haha I feel your pain! I did see a few people in the BOTM group on Facebook who feel similarly to us
SPOILER WARNING! What I didn’t get was Pey made it seem like Mickey survives because he saves her, but then Silas signs the deal with the devil to keep her alive? So confused! Can anyone explain this to me?
