I am obsessed with this book. The characters in it were so, completely psychotic, and I LOVED IT. The main character, Brooklyn was batshit crazy, but also so Naive. She was funny, she chatted some absolute shit sometimes, but she was bad ass. 
The two other MC were sexy, dark, dangerous and damaged. And they killed. SOOOOOO many freaking people it was unreal. 
This book was batshit crazy at times but I absolutely freaking LOVED it.

I LOVE the zodiac academy series by Carolie Peckham and wanted to give this a go. Honestly for the first few chapters I wasnt sure if this was for me but I really grew to love this team of psychos. The character unveiling and development was great and the storyline itself was fun and intriguing. I cant wait to read the second in the series as this one finished on quite a cliff hanger.
