Crime thrillers are not usually my thing like at all. However, it was really hard to pass this one up when the summary was about a demonic cult, Salem witchcraft, and connections to the Salem witch trials. I found myself in like two minds with this one. I struggled sometimes, with the aspects that I knew I would, like the police procedural narrative stuff. I just struggle to stay invested in that part. However, I really loved once we started making the occult and magic connections. The book really took off for me at that point and I needed to know what was happening next. I think the way things were woven together was really well done. I find it fascinating the way the author managed to throw so many plot twists into this story so seamlessly. 

 The plot twists were actually phenomenal to be honest. It took me a bit by surprise each time a new reveal was made. The story really manages to balance out the crime procedural stuff with the occult and magic element dynamic. I have to say I would have enjoyed a bit more of the occult stuff but at the same time I can admit that it would have given a lot away too early... but I think it would have made the ending a little less strange in context. However, I really enjoyed this excursion into crime thrillers. I think it managed to balance out well with things I find interesting so that I could fully enjoy the story. I loved how elaborate things turned out to be in this one. It was an interesting story.
