Thank you so much to @simonteen for the arc! I was over the moon when I got it in the mail!!!! 
With a debut like Their vicious games, the blonde dies first set some high expectations and I felt like it completely knocked it out the park for me! 
In the beginning it was a bit slow, and me being me I kept getting side tracked BUT once things started to hit the fan I was locked in. 
Now Ms Wellington knows how to make a girl feel scared! My imagination is a bit overactive, and she was so detailed with the kills and the way she was describing that monster/demon I legitimately was shaking in my boots and did sleep with my lights on (I'm also just a scaredy cat in general and VERY easily spooked). 
The only thing I wanted more of was to get to know more about the rest of the group. Because I would have loved to get to know Malachi, Gael, and Leila on the same level that we got to know Yaya, Drew and Devon. Now the character development between Devon and Drew LOVED that. I loved that we saw there turmoil just bubble over, and become uncontainable. The reconciliation of sisterhood , and the battle they fought between themselves outside of fighting for their lives was just so well done I wish we could have seen more with the others. 

Since this was an ARC I'm not going to blab too too much, but this has definitely solidified that I will read anything Joelle Wellington puts out!
