This 80pg book took me over a month to read because I kept telling myself "it's so short, just finish it" after not reading it for days. I don't know, it was fine. Lots of cool and creepy imagery, but was not a fan of Mac and Dred being preteens. I really don't know why they had to be that young and essentially act like adults. If you're trying to have the whole Hardy Boys feel, just make them college aged and with the excessive wealth, they would've had the same life without consequences as children do. But then it wouldn't have me having to read about preteen boys having sex with grown ass women and lusting after grown ass women. It's was creepy and gross.
