3.0

I’m honestly not sure how to feel about this one. It kind of felt like a really weird fever dream. I liked the psychological aspect and there was something compellingly readable about it. However, the twist wasn’t for me and it was a bit too gory/graphically detailed for me personally at times 🤷‍♀️

The main character reminds me of the show Dexter where its main character was a sociopath himself. I think the store does a fine job taking us through John Cleaver’s emotions and tendencies he tries to suppress. Since we are reading in John’s pov certain scenes are graphic and the characters goes into deep detail about then graphics to be warned

illiterad's review against another edition

4.0

makes me feel the way i did about ya fiction when i picked up my first in the genre in elementary school. addictive, fun, edgy enough for a current young adult, and writing solid enough to keep an exciting pace and give you something to chew on at the same time. i had a great time so i just hope the second one is also fun
