3.0

this was my 1st book by Brandon Massey and it was definitely unhinged. I didn’t expect at all going into this book that it was gonna be like this. 😂 if you ever decide to read this, make sure not to take anything that happens seriously because the events that take place in there are way too crazy lmaoo.

𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨: Pat was definitely my favourite character because she was the only sensible person in the house. everyone else (by that I mean Monica and Troy) were sooo naive, it annoyed me as hell sometimes. like, when your husband tells you something is wrong, it means something is wrong and you should at least listen to what he has to say lol. same thing applies to Troy when he finally got to talk to Reverend McBride in the church. anyway, the characters were the reason why I knocked a star off.

𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙩𝙮𝙡𝙚: it was definitely not the best, but the story was really entertaining lol. we had different POVs and got to see how the story progressed. I reckon this writing style made the story fly by, because the chapters were also quite short.

𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙩: oh my, it’s freaking hard not to talk about the plot without spoilers, the amount of weird shit that’d happened… I can’t. 😂 let’s say, I won’t be looking at tongues and the number 40 the same way for a while lol. the three stars are purely for all the obnoxious stuff that took place in here. also, I did expect a lot more from the ending. it was quite abrupt and I predicted that *this* was gonna happen at the theme park. as I said, it’s pretty hard to speak about it without any spoilers, but make sure you check the trigger warnings first !!!
