In this issue we discover that Fred the cop is a total dirt bag. He hired Deadpool to take out the mob bosses and his wife so he could collect her insurance policy and run away with Anna the tattoo artist. We also find out that one of the mob bosses Deadpool thought he had taken out is still alive. Meanwhile, Deadpool is buried in a casket. He accidentally sets the thing on fire...but soon Anna comes to let him out. When Deadpool is out, Anna tries to explain the situation and how she has feelings for Deadpool, but Fred tells Deadpool that she's lying. Anna ends up shooting Fred and a woman who was watching them. At the end, Anna hands him the gun telling him to use it if what she felt for Deadpool wasn't real. The issue ends with him clicking the hammer back.

In this issue, Deadpool seems to be getting lucky with a few different women...except they're all the same woman-Copycat (Vanessa) and she's playing for keeps.

In this issue, Deadpool is supposed to snipe someone (Maxy Millions) when he enters an apartment. However, he's on a phone call and misses his chance and then man that hired him gets burned alive. But before he passes, he tells Deadpool to watch over his son until he is safe. When the kid announces that he wants to go with Deadpool to take out Maxy in an act of revenge for his Dad, he also tells Deadpool that he wants half the prize money for the hit. Deadpool says that if that is the case, the kid is going to take half the risk, and puts him in a Deadpoolish suit. When they go to meet a contact, Deadpool goes to the bar and takes the time to ask everyone inside to move away from the windows. Then he takes his motorcycle and busts through the window. Afterwards, they go to find a couple of informants then Maxy.

In this issue, we pick up after the sisters had sandwiched Deadpool between two cars, and they have all gone off to nurse their wounds. One twin realizes that she is bleeding internally so the other one shoots her to put her out of her pain. Deadpool's healing factor is taking some time to kick in, so he orders a wheel chair and calls "Veronica" for a housecall. When she gets there, he finally tells her that he knew all those girls were really her (Vanessa) the whole time. Later on, Deadpool leads the remaining sister on a goose chase until he has her right where he wants her- on the Staten Island ferry where he can snipe her from the shore.

Meanwhile, the police are still searching for the girls and their parents. When they get access to their apartment, they also each their storage space...where they find the long-dead parents. Later, at the Hampton house, they discover a horror house in the barn.

In this issue, the twin girls (the Mercy Sisters-Grace and Mary) have killed another person, Vanessa (Copycat) is still trying to figure out how to become the girl Deadpool will keep around, and Deadpool is on a quest to take out the Mercy Sisters for a reward.

Unfortunately, this book seems to have the exact opposite effect on me compared to the reviews that I'm seeing...Rather than enjoying a bit of Celaena's backstory, I just found myself getting more and more annoyed with her character. She just seems far too full of herself for my liking. I'm so sick of reading "she is the best." She's selfish. And rude.

I keep reminding myself that she's just a teenager, so there will be some typical angst there, but for how much training she's supposedly had, and how overly confident she always is, she sure gets into a lot of trouble and forgets to think things through!

And, though it's easy to read, I just don't think I'm a huge fan of the writing style. Far too much repetition and odd similes for me.

Favorite passage:
She would tuck Sam into her heart, a bright light for her to take out whenever things were darkest. And she would remember how it had felt to be loved, when the world had held nothing but possibility.

I had pretty high hopes for this book since I really enjoyed the first in the series. Unfortunately, I thought that this one was much slower than the first and at times I got a bit bored. I just didn't feel like the book had enough "oomph." Kind of like the author rushed it. I just didn't care about the characters or anything that happened.

Still absolutely worth the read, but I would not reread this one.

Favorite lines:
I've shared it all. The words liberated me. Perhaps I have become so accustomed to the burden of secrets that I do not notice is weight until I am free of it.

Don't you see? So long as you fight the darkness, you stand in the light.

My mind orders me to stay silent, but my heart screams to be heard.

What point is there in being human if you don't let yourself feel anything?

I'm really struggling with my review for this book. I can't say I liked it. But I also can't say I didn't like it.

Pros:
I thought the storyline was super creepy. Especially the more I think about it.
The action was interesting when it was happening.
I liked the four main characters characters.
I really enjoyed that moment when I finally figured out what was happening.

Cons:
The format.
All the short sentences.
It was like this.
And I kept having the same thoughts:
Why not just write complete paragraphs?!
Maybe this should have been a short story.
Haven't we read this before?
The repetition.
The repetition.
The repetition.
My god, this is dragging.

But seriously. When I started reading, I was loving it! But then I got a little confused. Like I said above, when you figure out what is really happening, it's a bit of a shock. I was hooked for a few pages after that. But then I got bored again. I'm pretty sure I found myself feeling bored more often than I felt hooked. Though I never once thought about adding it to my DNF list.

I just can't say I really enjoyed this read.

Favorite lines:
No one tells you it's all about to change, to be taken away. There's no proximity alert, no indication that you're standing on the precipice. And maybe that's what makes tragedy so tragic. Not just what happens, but how it happens: a sucker punch that comes at you out of nowhere, when you're least expecting it. No time to flinch or brace.

Her breath is wine-sweet, and she has one of those smiles that seem architecturally impossible. It still slays me.

I am not allowed to think I'm crazy.
I am only allowed to solve this problem.

An absolute treat to read! I would highly recommend this to any Tim Burton/Nightmare fan. The illustrations are stunning!

This book was so cute! I loved the idea behind the little red notebook! My favorite quote from the story is from Lilly's brother, Langston, who said, "The important people in our lives leave imprints. They may stay or go in the physical realm, but they are always there in your heart, because they helped form your heart."
