Just like is promised we have ourselves and short and spicy sentient object read. Its fast pace really sets the tone and at around 30 pages you can’t expect much of a storyline but there was enough to make it work.

Until the end this felt like an incredibly long read. I don’t know what it was about it, but every page felt like 30 pages until the last section. That’s what saved it for me honestly. But it still wasn’t great.

This was hilarious with a side of spook and a layer of spice. I enjoyed almost every second of this book from start to finish.

As someone who is not generally a fan of this author I’m shocked by the enjoyment I got from this book. I started it late last night and couldn’t finish it because I fell asleep but believe me I tried. I didn’t want to stop. I was drawn in by the idea of hearing from our death row inmate and the turns the story took were great. It felt full length without being full length and that’s not an easy taste so I just give credit where it’s due.
