This story starts out strong, and doesn’t let up until it’s finished. We follow a few different characters, as each of them are eventually pulled into each other’s orbit from the hypnotizing song of a demon. Never once was I positive about the direction this novel would go, and this book surprised me by making some characters, who had been antagonistic villains for the most part, some of my favorites in this story.

I think this book is best gone into blind, and to just let the story surround you as you delve into the conflict Ruby must face to try to escape her imminent possession. In direct contrast to the Satanic Panic going around this time, it might just wind up being punk rock that will save Ruby’s very soul.

The one thing that kept this story from 4 stars, as opposed to the 3 I gave it, was the ending and the resolution. I kind of felt the story fell flat right near the end, like there wasn’t a clear-cut way to finish this book. Also, my favorite character just is never mentioned for this ending, and I wanted to know what happened to him! Where IS Vutto? He was my favorite, and I wanted more insight into how he dealt with the ending of the story. I loved Beel, I’m glad he got the ending he deserved, but I still wanted to know what happened to Vutto after the climatic events of the story.

A huge thank you to the author, NetGalley, and Tor Nightfire for providing this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
