                The plot is gripping and full of paranormal elements. The story picked up pace when Jade learns that she is a witch and the readers will be hooked to throughout the book. The mystery element is maintained throughout the book which will keep the readers curious to know what will happen next.

                The characters are well developed and I liked how Jade gives her everything and is brave throughout the story to save this dark secret. It was very emotional to see Jennifer suffering but at the same time she was worried about this secret and telling about it to Jade.

                Language is simple and lucid and the narration is done excellently. The cover page of the book is scary. The title of the book is also apt to the plot of the book.

                Overall, it was a very good read and horror lovers will surely love to read this book.
