Hannah is losing it. Everything. Her friends, her life, and probably her mind. Bugs crawling over her hands made her wreck the car and cause her friend's death, but...were the bugs even real? Is someone moving Hannah's things around, or is she imagining it? Why does her brain feels as though she's not controlling it? She's probably headed for a useless life in and out of the locked ward, like her dad. In desperation, she reaches out when the school's self-proclaimed "occult" expert offers to help, and, through this supposedly weird kid, Hannah discovers shocking news that could mean she really is going crazy, or that someone misusing a terrible power.
I received a free copy to review through a blog tour in October. I had to drop out of the tour though because of my rating. As I'm going through to update everything before moving on in the New Year, I was surprised to find I'd actually finished this book. My memory could've sworn it was a DNF. Well, that's why I always have notes. It boils down to this:
-Extremely rough start. Stilted and forced. For example, her friends should have known about Princeton before this. It's an obvious, sloppy way to inform the reader.
-Hannah made some terribly dumb decisions.
-Became overtly religious with a preachy-message.
-Why didn't Hannah ask her mother how she knew the guy?
-Instalove
-Slut-shaming.
-The showdown was going well, until Hannah did some more dumb shit. *screeching halt*
-The ending wasn't *so* bad.
Again, I'm impressed I finished this one at all. I suppose if you want alternative boy love interest, it'll be okay to recommend but I wouldn't.
