When I first heard the premise for this book I was excited. As an amateur tarot reader I was eager to see how the author portrayed it in the book. I was sorely disappointed. Within the first chapter it's used as a cheap trick with mounds of scepticism from the main protagonist which I was willing to overlook, but already it was not the supernatural thriller I thought it would be.
It all goes downhill from there. Every character we meet is a cliche, right down to the good cop bad cop trope in chapter 10 (it took me a while to get through the chapter, I had to keep putting it down to cringe).
The main protagonist reads like a 14 year old rather than the 18 year old she is meant to be, she's a pathological liar yet her friend still likes her, and she's horrible to her mother. I just couldn't read her any more.
I wouldn't recommend this book to older readers, however if you don't mind highschool stereotypes you may enjoy it.
