Firstly, I want to thank Book Publicity Services and the author for providing me with a free paperback copy to read and provide an honest review. 

Though this book is short and fast paced with an interesting plot and resolution - the execution of the characters and writing style made it a challenging read 

The book constantly bounces back and forth between lots of different characters as they interact with each other to gauge their thoughts and behaviours. Without a consistent character to follow the narrative through, it made all the characters feel shallow and relied very heavily on just telling us how each character is reacting to a situation rather than showing it in a more refined way which made it feel very monotonous to read.

I really struggled to like any of the characters. Where we didn’t get any depth to them, a big flaw I had with this is that all the male characters just felt too similar - each these fun welding bravado men who only seem to want to kill people or try and get with a female character.  

The women on the other had were poorly written about as their only purpose in this book is to serve as sexualised objects for the male characters and even when 2 female characters were talking it was only about guys… definitely would not have passed the Bechdel test. 

Whilst I can see how this book is thoroughly enjoyed but some, sadly it just didn’t hit the mark for me and can’t see myself reaching out for the other books in this trilogy.
