For a lot of it, I could forget the underlying murder plot, but when the stakes get raised, people have their skin being melted off. I also did not care about this couple. They didn't really have chemistry and were just a hot guy and a girl.
There were also a bunch of loose ends that were never tied up. Including the literal main plot! It makes me not want to read the next one because the author couldn't write a complete plot in over 400 pages.
Overall, I just didn't care about these characters and I wasn't invested in their story. Everything was just okay. I was never on the edge of my seat or needing to turn the next page.
It was fine. Not great. Not the worst thing.

I have mixed feelings on this book. This book was better than I expected. I think Maehrer tried to hard to be funny in places. There was some character development and in-development.
Overall, this book kept me interested. I found the plot to be predictable, and the writing style got annoying in places. The worldbuilding was lacking in areas. The characters were fine.
I do plan to read the sequel.
