This one, it was not for me. 

I don’t think it was bad by any means, It wasn’t poorly written nor was it predictable- ha! It’s a great revenge story- I did like seeing Ollie just… snap. With this one I expected gore and violence, and I’ve read plenty of gory, murdery books.. but something about  this one just wasn’t my jam.
