Bleeding Violet by Dia Reeves

A mentally ill sixteen-year-old girl reunites with her estranged mother in an East Texas town that is haunted with doors to dimensions of the dead and protected by demon hunters called Mortmaine.

Refreshing to have a main character with mental health issues.

I read reviews saying this glamorizes mental illness, and I'm not sure... if that's even... what it's doing? But I'm not really sure what it IS doing? I don't know if I can formulate any opinions about this book that don't end with a question mark? I liked it? I don't know what happened with the world-building? It was kind of cool though?

Give it to kids who like Holly Black and dark fantasy? Don't give it to tweens cuz it's got some sexy parts and some suicide-y parts?

Not the best book ever. I seem to be a sucker for damaged main characters. The book starts off saying the main character, Hanna, is bi-polar. I don't think it shares any relation to reality but it's an interesting plot hook to have weird stuff happen and not have Hanna finch.

Wasn't a top notch book by any means but I enjoyed it. I'd be curious to know what happens next, but as always, I kinda prefer the open endings.
