This begins as a character study following Sarita who grapples with the question, “how do you cope when the thing you thought was your angel for so long is actually your devil?” While unpacking the lore of the devils in this world there is a fair amount of violence and gore, compelling time in likeable and unlikeable characters' heads, and rich writing that Compton lured me in with yet again.
There was a bit of info dumping and so much time in characters' heads that the book meandered a bit for me sometimes, but for horror readers who like to slowly sink their teeth into a story I think this will work. Plot-driven readers might be disappointed.
Halfway through I switched to purchased audio to meet my ARC review deadline, great audio narration.
