Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC!

Despite an interesting setting and some interesting characters, I found myself mostly underwhelmed and sometimes bored reading this book. The premise is interesting, but for me this book didn't work. It started with an interesting hook with Iris' partners death and how she deals but most things that came after felt a bit sluggish
