4 STARS!!! 
 This was a great read! I enjoyed the inclusion of diverse characters and how dark this was. I've been seeing around that this is categorized as Adult fiction but I beg to differ. This reads more closely to a YA book and that's not an insult, it's my opinion. But that didn't take away at all from my enjoyment of this book. I didn't expect there to be a mystery going on as well and that was delightfully surprising. I didn't even pay attention to who the killer could be because I was more invested in the characters and this fantastical story of teenagers who've been ejected from the fantasy worlds they were in for so long and how much it broke them to be back in the normal world. How do you move on in the human world, when nonsense and magic is all you've ever really known? 
 This book was also 169 pages which I adored, I love when books are short and still pack a full punch. I'm really interested to see what the second book has in store and would definitely recommend this for people who liked Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and people who didn't like it (like me) this book is more my thing. So go pick this up and prepare yourself for a emotional, fantastical, and mysterious ride.
