I'm actually kind of shocked about how little I cared about this book. The characters felt flat and the romance was boring and uninteresting. The writing was questionable at best, like seriously who describes a head decapitation like a pez dispenser? This author, apparently. I was actually too weirded out by some of these comparisons, that the death didn't even matter. And our main has some strong plot armor because wtf were those action scenes. She didn't even get injured?? Girl basically is invincible, I would like her to die.
The end was basically that ending where it's like shock shock look at our cool totally original (not) plot twist.
And actually what was that romance?? I love reading sapphic relationships, yet somehow every single horror/thriller book with a sapphic romance has no development. These characters had two conversations and then declared their love for each other. Like geez, I get that you're in a life threatening situation, but people don't fall like that. They literally said "I love you"... after knowing each other for less than TWO weeks.
I read the first book of this at the start of the year, and I enjoyed that. In this book, we have two POVs from the first book, and then a new one introduced in this book. SO BORING. I lowkey hate everyone in this book. And the og trio had no business being here, because they added nothing. They weren't too interesting in the first book and literally held no purpose.
I also feel like the trauma from killing people snd experiencing deaths wasn't shown much. We get the whole 'omg they just died i wanna throw up and cry' but like ,,, that's it. Dee from the last book did not go through therapy and she has way less trauma than a teenager would after going through that.
Oh, and the plot holes!!Like they literally run away from everyone and are illegal or criminals despite the fact that it was aired live??? who cares if it was only aired in russia?? u can literally still get evidence wtf??is the author okay
Well, at least I borrowed this from the library.
