I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Thriller/horror is a genre I particularly relish.
 
The narrative is punctuated with gripping moments that compelled me to keep turning the pages, and there was one scene that repeatedly elicited audible 'OMG' reactions from me. The exploration of the maiden lore and its resolution were particularly engaging.
 
The alternating perspectives between the past and present were skillfully executed, maintaining my interest throughout. While I lack familiarity with K-pop idol culture, I believe many of my students will find this book captivating.
 
Additionally, the depiction of the challenges these girls face in show business—such as evading paparazzi and navigating personal issues like nude photo leaks and romantic entanglements—added a compelling layer to the story.
 
The conclusion hints at the possibility of a series, yet it stands solidly on its own. Not every story needs serialization.
