After finishing the series I went back through all the books (like I always do for any good audiobook) and I really loved how foreshadowing of the last three Creepy Hollow novels can be found woven in this one. That said, I found this much more enjoyable my second time through. As for the mysterious hot tattoo guy I guessed who he was right away. Our POV here has an amazing ability that we were introduced to way back in the very first book and naturally the summary of bits and pieces of three full novels just barely scratched the surface. While you can probably still enjoy it, the background story is so integral to this book, as well as the rest of the Creepy Hollow series. Speaking of which, I do NOT suggest reading this novel without reading the first three in the series. I get that they were supporting characters, but I was kind of left hanging, wanting to know more of what their past ten years was like. Tbh Vi and Ryn were the highlight for me during my first listen, being a huge fan of the previous three books. I thought Vi was so much better as a main character and perhaps I was spoiled with Ryn from past books as the perfect love interest so it was a hard act to follow. Our protagonist was pretty annoying to me during my first pass, coming off as a selfish brat, making me unsympathetic to her plight. Thus it was with some disappointment that I initially struggled through this volume. So I came into this book with very high hopes, excited to see those characters continue on. I've listened to those over and over to the point of memorizing some favorite scenes.
