i don't even care if the events that occurred in this book are unrealistic. it was so addicting to read and so satisfying in so many ways. every day i was excited to read it. you need to have a stomach of steel to read this though.

"It’s sad that I want to hide my bodies now so that my boyfriend gets a break and can spend more time with me. How twisted can one person possibly get?" She's just so kind and considerate.

Dark! But it was interesting. I was rooting for my girl Lana the whole time, like defeat those gross men my love <3 I love seeing women have hobbies~

The queer and disability rep in this was very questionable at points tho

the bit in the epilogue when its like  "Jake and Hadley are both bisexual, and though they’d never cheat on each other, they do include select individuals in their bedroom on occasion." All for poly, power to ya, but whats with the cheat comment? Is that really necessary? lmao

I do think the series needed a bit more nuance, it makes it's perspective on Lana's vigilante hobbies very clear through multiple characters having the same view.

This story is WILD. It definitely deserves its name, because it put me through an emotional rollercoaster.

The first half of the series was much more tense and mysterious, as the second half was a bit more predictable, but I was still on the edge of my seat the whole time.

The writing did get repetitive and cliche at times, and I naturally skimmed over some of it toward the end.
