Not as good as the first 3 books of blood. The Body Politic was my favorite story, very silly.

The stories to me got better after each, until the last one, it gave me such bad anxiety I couldn’t finish it. Don’t know whether that’s a good sign or bad. CAUTION: HEAVY influence of sexual assault in last story
