Written review
This book was extremely disappointing. I really liked "They Both Die at the End" I felt like this book didn't compare to that book in any way. Maybe this review will be a little harsh but when you have books that are a series, I can't help but compare the books.
The reason I liked the other book so much was because that book had character development and actually had a plot. I felt that this books plot was solely romance. The characters in this book were flat with no personality. I wasn't rooting for them at all. I really wasn't that interested in either of their stories. I felt like I was more interested in the other side characters than our main characters.
I was actually pretty invested in Gloria's relationship. The ending (involving Gloria) was actually my favorite part of the whole book. It not really the best sign when I say my favorite part was with people who were only talking about on like 50/550 pages.
I liked to see the interworks of death-cast. I hate the dude who owned death-cast thought, there was something about him that rubbed me the wrong way. I think that was the only reason I didn't DNF this book. I really enjoy the concept of death-cast. And anything that is about death-cast I will continue to read.
I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book. There were parts that I hated and there were parts that I loved. But if the parts that I loved were about other people who weren't the main characters, is the book really that good?
