Great story and the ladt few chapters are dark and intense.  But it is a very slow book which takes a long time laying the foundations of the characters.

These books keep getting worse, and yet I’m unable to stop reading them. Thankfully I only have one left in the series, and then I can be done!

Hot mess freaking express!! I love these books. Are they “repetitive”? Of course. He’s a SERIAL killer. Some people call the stream of consciousness point of view annoying, I personally like it. Let’s call it “poetic”. I always loved this series for the little Easter eggs and word play. Being in Joe’s brain is so facinating and poor guy he really did try and reform this time.

What a sick and twisted book😱 The narration was chef’s kiss, god, so funny💕 Even if he didn’t kill anyone in this book, his demented mind wanted to do something wrong. Oh god, Nomi, I know you’re a victim, but her “confrontation” with Joe at the latter part of the story made me uncomfortable. 😔 Mary Kaye, you seemed fun and daring. Even if the whole town judged you hard, you rose and tried to be happy again. The story is, as always, so problematic; the Love scenes, goodness gracious. The writing style was so gripping and exciting. And oh my god, the narrator in the audiobook companion was top notch💕

Now that climax was pretty great honestly. I didn’t see it coming and I was really shocked.
The last 2 pages however…. *narrows eyes*
