The main reason why this is not a 5/5 stars even though I enjoyed the book is that
there is all this build up to Claire setting up the perfect revenge kill for Deb and Vampire Smoker/Gary yet nothing happens with it and instead, they are taken to the court system for trial. THAT felt anti-climatic and out of character for her... unless she is planning on offing them later somehow when they are inside..??
It was interesting to feel sympathy for her and root for her as she is mowing down all these people, yet it gives a comforting relief when the ugly characters get the hammer to the head (figuratively-and literally for some-).

I wonder if we got a chapter with the pov of the dad, like an epilogue or something,  what his thoughts on Claire would be.

Ha! I loved this, what a great and original read! It was everything I wanted and more! It had more of a complex storyline than I first imagined but easy enough to follow without it being explained to you overly patronisingly. It had a lot of heart too.
