3.80 maybe? The plot became interesting because of the whole paranormal/bruja parts, and definitely picks up in the middle, but the ending...good lord

Okay update, if I think about this book as an epic and the journey of an anti-hero (?), then the rating is like a 3.95. I'm hesitant on 4 stars just because the writing seemed too explanatory at times. I don't necessarily need to know why the character thinks the way he does, I understand his life is difficult already.

This book was crazy but slow to say the least. I did not enjoy the paranormal aspect of it all. The travels took too long.

Basically a group of people go on one last job and the group members start betraying each other..typical heist-like storyline. Very predictable. It is a good thing I did'nt actually sit down to read it but listened the whole way through.
