Wow, this book was not what I expected and I mean that in the VERY best way! I was happily surprised that the story doesn't take place when a teen gets sent to a conversion camp. Instead this is an aftermath, queers get justice, kind of story.

Content warnings: religious and physical abuse of children and teens, family rejection, religious bigotry, demons, insects, vomiting, and some body horror.

Spoilers follow: This was such an original idea. It would take a lot to make the setting of a conversion therapy concentration camp more horror than it already is. If you didn't know, the 'treatments' given at many of those camps are legit torture methods. It isn't that far a stretch to imagine a real camp deciding to try demonic possession to 'cure' the gays.

It was a creative and entirely believable thought, the ultra religious deciding to use demons because "they would use all means possible to save your souls". Shudder.

I was worried that reading this book would be traumatic for me (being a queer person, myself), and I am not going to say that it's safe for all queer folks to read, but It felt GOOD to see a little family of queer folks tearing down the camp that tried to destroy them.
