I have tried for hours to get myself into these stories and I simply cannot. I understand what Lima was trying to say in telling these stories, do I think it was the right choices? No. Did some of it work for me? Yes. 

I liked Rapture and Ghost Story and Antropófaga and really loved the alt chapters. 

I loved the depiction of the devil in this, in one of the book blurbs this collection is suggested to lovers of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and I can see why. The devil is sleek and mysterious not the evil deviant the writer thinks he’d be. 

But other than that it was all very lackluster to me. I do also feel this is marketed as the wrong genre? It didn’t feel very horror to me, but I understand why it could be viewed as such?

Thank you netgalley and Tor Publishing Group for this arc.
