Hack/Slash remains to be a fun, if not stupid, but enjoyable series.

Cassie gets more character development here as she learns to deal with PTSD, gaining and losing friends, dealing with the fallout of her father, and revisiting hurt memories of her mother. This is all actually the good part and really enjoyable part of the series. Even some of the jokes are pretty funny and I love Vlad.

But then we get to the really dumb parts like suicide girl story of a guy in a computer killing girls. And the villains don't really strike fear in my heart, they all just seem kind of dull and stupid. The pacing can be quick or it can feel like it's dragging on due to extra subplots of characters that really aren't that interesting.

Overall though for Halloween month, this isn't horrible. A fun bloody time that can sit back and enjoy reading. Just don't expect great things. A 3 out of 5.
