This book is brilliantly done, if only because the main character makes me DEEPLY uncomfortable.
It is dark, and she felt unhinged the entire time, and at no point did I know what was going to happen!!
That said I will not be finishing the series, and I probably should have DNF it.

Very low paced, it’s about her killing people and she probably only kills 2 people in the first 100 and then the last 100 2 more. Nothing fun or exciting happens in the middle. Rubbish ending.

At first I found this book quite easy to put down, it was good but didn't draw me in, then yesterday afternoon I got really into it and finished it within a few hours. it does speed up and gets quite thriller like. Love the dark humour and making lists (we can all relate to those!) and the ending perfectly leads into the next book, making you want to just carry on with the next.
