Fun as a Halloween book but pretty dark and not usually what I enjoy. Funny and lighthearted enough to be easy to read though

I had so much fun with this book! The banter was so cheeky, it had me giggling while kicking my feet. I usually don’t do a ton of gore but the choice to go dark comedy made it thrilling in a way that didn’t feel excessive. I’m hyped to read the next one!

This book is a mix of contradictions, things that shouldn't work together: gory but sweet, dark but funny, unhinged but very approachable. I can understand the hype now. I'm not a fan of

the 3rd act breakup

, but at least this one didn't take too much time in the novel.

Yes, there are a ton of content warnings, but I still found the book very sweet. It's unique in a sea of the same tropes over and over again.
