The Society of S started slowly for me, one of those books where you’re not quite sure where it’s going or when it’s going to click. But once it did, I was completely drawn in. Hubbard builds her world with a quiet, deliberate pace, and before I realized it, I was fully invested in Ari’s life, her strange upbringing, and the secrets that seemed to hover around every corner of her home.

What kept me turning the pages was the mystery threaded through Ari’s family. I found myself constantly wondering: Is her father a vampire? Is she one without knowing it? And what really happened to her mother? Hubbard plays with these questions in a way that feels subtle and atmospheric rather than dramatic, and that slow-burning tension is what ultimately hooked me.

Ari’s voice is thoughtful and observant, and watching her piece together the truth about her identity and her parents became the heart of the story for me. By the time the plot picked up speed, I was fully immersed, eager to see where her discoveries would lead and how they would reshape her understanding of the world.

If you enjoy coming-of-age stories with a gothic edge, quiet suspense, and a protagonist who grows into her own power one revelation at a time, this book is worth the patience it asks for in the beginning. Once it finds its rhythm, it becomes an intriguing atmospheric journey that lingers after the final page.
