A solid 3.5 stars 🌟. My favour character was Constance Wright, Vesper's mysterious and dark mother (I imagined her to look like Cher). I wish we knew more about her and her true thoughts on Hell's Gate. I also enjoyed Vesper’s sense of humor. 

Overall, a solid read with some humor and engaging story. And PS, I didn’t think Vesper was rude at all, just me?

While the book takes its time to build to the climax, it still managed to be bingeable. Another solid bite of storytelling from Harrison. While YouI could see the twist coming with my eyes closed, it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the book.
