One of my favourite CJ Cooke novels. Both Nicky and Dom’s stories were interesting to read and kept my attention. Would recommend reading!

Below will be spoilers that go into detail about the content warnings:

Animal death and cruelty:

hunting whales and other arctic animals and birds

Vomit:

mentioned several times but not in graphic detail

Rape:

while the act itself if not described in detail it is mentioned throughout the novel and is quite present.

Violence:

physical, emotional, and sexual violence are present throughout the novel in both Dom and Nicky’s stories. Very hard to avoid. The acts of violence are not described in graphic detail but are explicit.

I enjoy CJ Cooke's books in that shallow sort of way that I binge-read sub-par mysteries occasionally. This was a fun one but oh lawd, I wish they'd get the author a better editor to remove all the weirdly repeated sentences. Overall, fun but don't read without looking at the content warnings.
