This book was not what I expected at all, but in a great way. It's very fast paced with brilliant, funny characters. It is dark and gruesome and tense and I loved it

challenging dark funny fast-paced

5.0

Absolutely phenomenal horror satire novel. It discusses really horrific things such as content warning

lynching and police brutality

but there is an element of humor throughout that, especially at the end, had me laughing with glee. After having visited the Legacy Museum in the US in recent years, this was an incredibly moving and dark testament (books that contain lists of victims’ names always hits me hard) to America’s dark history and present.
