I absolutely LOVED this book! The book follows Ji-won as her life falls into disarray. Her father leaves the family to go and be with his mistress. Ji-won, her mother, and her sister are left to fend for themselves. Being the oldest, Ji-won feels responsible for the future of her family. The pressure begins to get to her, messing with her grades during her freshman year of college.

Her mother meets a man named George and begins dating him. George is awful except for one thing…he has beautiful blue eyes. Ever since Ji-won ate a fish eye at dinner one night, she’s become obsessed with eyeballs. Including human ones

There's a lot to unpack here with this book. I think the easiest way for me to cover this one is by what I liked and what didn't work for me.

But first, a summary-A woman's mysterious death puts her husband and son on a collision course with her demonic family. A young father and son set out on a road trip, devastated by the death of the wife and mother they both loved. United in grief, the pair travel to her ancestral home, where they must confront the terrifying legacy she has bequeathed: a family called the Order that commits unspeakable acts in search of immortality. For Gaspar, the son, this maniacal cult is his destiny. As the Order tries to pull him into their evil, he and his father take flight, attempting to outrun a powerful clan that will do anything to ensure its own survival. But how far will Gaspar's father go to protect his child? And can anyone escape their fate? The book moves back and forth in time, from London in the swinging 1960s to the brutal years of Argentina's military dictatorship and its turbulent aftermath.
