This was so good! It was a little slow for the first half, which isn’t uncommon for mystery, but that last 30% took a major turn. I love the angle of “what if the missing person wasn’t a perfect angel.” The switch between perspectives was really good for adding context and showing that both narrators could be unreliable because of how their perspectives were clouded. I wish the story leaned into the hoodoo elements a bit more but other than that, great read and definitely one I’d recommend to high schoolers.
