So I think this was what Wilder Girls should've been (but wasn't). It irked me quite a lot (in the way it should have), reminded me of both that book and House of Hollow, but didn't quite hit me in just the right places as HoH did to give me a 5 star, though it was quite close. The atmosphere was always so spooky, but there was a nice amount of humor sprinkled in that lightened up the mood from time to time and made it bearable.

I think I was left with some unanswered questions that bug me, but overall I really liked most of the characters and their relationships felt authentic and so did their hopes and fears and the ways that they interacted with the world around them. There was a decent plot, but I definitely found the characters more intriguing for the most part.
