A joy to read. Baptiste is masterful in her descriptions of the jumbies. They were all memorable and spooky in their own way, especially the douens and the main antagonist. I actually shuddered while reading some of the descriptions. While the plot is a bit typical (special/ gifted main character fights Big Bad), the villain had some complexity, and the end of the book introduced some nuance to how the jumbies and humans have co-existed. Corinne and her friends had distinct personalities, and I enjoyed the unexpected arcs her relationship with each of them took. Corinne was a very endearing protagonist, and I can't wait to read the sequels and hear more about her adventures.
