I mean this in the best way when I say I had no clue what was coming next at ANY point in this book. I ADORE Alex Stern and her badassery. This book kept a fast pace and kept me on my toes. A mega mystery conspiracy where I never knew who to trust and who to blame until the last page (and I suppose that may even change in Book 2). Great writing, humorous main character, and badass women.
Major trigger warnings for SA, drug use, and r*pe (as traumatic experiences of characters), along with lots of gore and violence.
