I gave this book a solid 5/5 because I love a good mystery/paranormal story and this book checked all the boxes. I have already started calling all ghosts greys now and I am already looking forward to re-reading this book so I can make tabs of all the death sayings! Galaxy Stern better known as Alex Stern is not your typical female heroine either. Most people seem to not like her or they shy away from her because she is strange, different. Seriously, this girl weirdly reminds me of me except for the drug use. She has tattoos all over her body and she see's the world in a different way than anyone else, not only just the living but the dead too. She is not a push over but not overly self righteous either. Through a series of events she winds up at Yale as a sort of knight, protector of the innocent but really she is just trying to stay afloate with her classes and her duties to Lethe House. At Yale she meets Daniel Arlington better known as Darlington and this brings me to explaining why I loved how this book was written. It was a present day telling through the eyes of Alex and a past telling through the eyes of Darlington. The stroy brings you through a worl wind of emotions, through trauma and pain, joy and resiliance. It is so enjoyable to read and the suspense was exhilarating! **Disclaimer: There are senstitive topics in this book so if you are someone who cannot read about sexual trauma please do not pick this book up. It is not for you. I actually buddy read this book with a friend of mine who does not read very often and we both agreed that this book is extemely engaging and covers topics most want to leave alone. I took it slower than I normally would have because I was buddy reading it and we discussed once a week about a certain group of chapters but it was hard to slow myself down. The only negative (so minor) comment I have it at the beginning of the book, I felt it was 8 chapters of info dumping that was kind of dull. BUT after reading it I understand the need to get certain things about the world out there. It was just a lot to take in all at once and I know I forgot a lot of it while I went deeper into the story. In stating this little nugget, I still think the book is fabulous! I just want everyone to give it to chapter 9 at LEAST, because then, it will knock your socks off!
