While this book was riveting, I felt that the writing was weak. Although it may have been written with the intention of quick-pacing, the style and characters felt almost frustratingly simplistic. It was hard to truly feel drawn into the story because the chapters were each so short.

I did think the implication that Ayoola kills men because she witnessed her sister murder their father to defend her and is essentially repeating the act without remorse in less dangerous circumstances was interesting.

Yet this information was only delivered at the very end of the book, without much time to further explore it. I almost felt that I read the first draft of a story that was primed for further editing. This is a disappointment because I've been looking forward to reading this book for a while. Unfortunately, I feel generous having given it three stars.
