I received a free copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I almost gave up on Modern Rituals a handful of times, but I managed to make it all the way through. There are some grammatical mistakes and typos throughout the book that distracted me from the story and I found the characters to be a bit unbelievable and inconsistent. That being said, the premise is interesting, though it is rather slowly revealed, leaving readers a bit confused as to what is going on for a large part of the book. There are some unique fantasy elements to Modern Rituals, but I felt that some of the wonder of those elements was lost to overcrowding. This is meant to be the first book in a series featuring three of the novel’s main characters and I’m not sure that I will read the next book. Overall, I give it two and a half stars and would recommend it for fans of weird fiction.
