What a wild novel! Such a fascinating premise and for the most part it delivers on it. I actually liked Iris, found it hilarious how everyone just falls in love with her as soon as they meet her. I think overall most of the characters were well developed but they could use just a bit more work. The plot was complex, interesting and full of twists. I could’ve done with maybe one less plot line since the story got a little hard to follow sometimes. Overall, I’m intrigued enough to read the next book, especially since that ending was so chaotic that I have to know what happens afterwards.
Graphic: Cannibalism
Moderate: Death, Gore, and Murder
