A sincere thank you to the author for providing me a ebook of this book for an honest review. This does not reflect on my review in any way, and all opinions are my own.

I truly enjoyed some aspects of this book, particularly reading about the author's writing process at the end, but overall, it felt pretty underdeveloped. I wanted to grow more attached to characters, understand their backgrounds, and understand the reasoning/motives behind each of their actions, but I ended the book feeling like I heard snatches of a conversation and am left trying to piece together what was said from the pieces I heard.

Because this is a novella, the constant perspective shifts and introductions to new characters felt too fast and jarring. I think if these chapters were expanded and the reader were allowed to understand each character more, these shifts would not be so jarring. The plot also was quite predictable, which, when combined with my lack of knowledge about the characters, left me uninterested and not wanting to continue. The dialogue also felt rather stilted and artificial. Overall, I was reminded of the movie Werewolves Within, which like this book, is a fun story, but still spreads itself very thin with too many characters and an easily predicted plot.

One thing I did greatly enjoy was the more action oriented fight scenes. Out of all the scenes in this book, these are the ones I liked the most and that struck me as the most unique. As previously stated, I also enjoyed the end portion that spoke about the writer's process, because even though I was not the biggest fan of the result, learning how writers come up with their ideas and what inspires them is always a treat.
