There’s comfort in the illusion that we have full control over our decisions and behaviours; that these behaviours, thoughts, and actions belong to us and therefore, we are solely responsible for and in control of ourselves.
I tried to continue after they switched artists in season 2, but it was a rough go. The characters barely resemble themselves.

I definitely liked this story, but they're both seriously fucked up in a way that's dangerous to society as a whole. At least the HEA is them looking for rapists to kill away from most people in Alaska.

I think this book suffered comparison to another fairytale inspired book I read earlier in the month (Deerskin by Robin McKinley) - not intentionally, but I am a capricious being. I thought the writing was lovely, but it's not likely to stay with me very long.

Harlow laughed. "Count me in. I like scaring the shit out of people."
"I know you do, baby."
This is my favorite dynamic.
This was trending toward a 5 star read for me - the baby thing kind of brought down the whole vibe, which sucks since it's was the ending. It's always harder to sort my feelings about a book as a whole when I don't like how it ends.
