holy shit. i have no words to describe what i'm feeling right now. this was so good, so amazing, so wow!!! it had everything, from the callbacks to iconic pieces of horror media, to a great supernatural plot, down to the originality and unexpected twists. this book does exactly what the scream movies do, it takes the clichés and uses them in their favor, which works so well. i don't read a lot of horror books, so i thought this would be a great start since it falls a lot more under the murder mystery and thriller genres, and i'm so glad i chose it. another thing i absolutely loved was SPOILERS the owl society !!! listen listen listen, as a dc comics reader and lover, i loved the similarities! i don't know if it was on purpose or accidental, but seeing the owl society being used in a way you never see anyone use dc's owl society was groundbreaking. i am going insane with how much i loved this book.

worst heterosexual propaganda i've ever seen...
the first chapters in adam's pov are ok, and even his relationship isn't bad, even though it would've been great not to notice the intense misogyny and clear gender stereotypes... and then eve's pov starts and i would've loved it if it, again, wasn't for the clear negative gender stereotypes. it just sucks to see “women” being represented like that, especially cause you can tell this is just what people thought women were like back then. and then the whole “i love because he's masculine, definitely not because of insert every single one of adam's traits, but because he's a MAN and i'm a WOMAN” yeah. how about you fuck yourself ??
can't believe my aunt just gave me this book saying “i think you'll love it”... why? how? in what world really?

update: just found out this is supposed to be a critic, and making fun of the bible.. well, apparently he did a very good job, because i thought he was being fr with this
