Though not as gripping as the other writing I've read from LaRocca, this was still a solid story that I quite enjoyed. If you're expecting atypical narrative styles you've come to expect from this writer, you may be a bit disappointed.
Eric LaRocca is definitely a writer to watch.

All of these characters needed therapy before the story began.

i will always read anything that larocca releases, and i think i’ve read all of his published work (except for one which is just, impossible to find anywhere???), and i think this might be my least favourite. every single part of it felt so shallow, so pointless, it’s actually incredible. i barely, if at all, felt any of the usual tension you get from books like these build up, and if there was ever any tension, it was resolved so quickly and “painlessly” that it felt unsatisfactory. the ending specifically felt very rushed and overly convenient.
overall i cannot say i would recommend reading this to anyone. look at their other works instead, i promise you you’ll have a better time there.
