I am a huge fan of Christina Henry, let me start with that. I did like it enough to finish, but it was massively disappointing compared to her other works (most of which I have give 5 stars.)

Ugh. What a slog. Too many ideas put in a pot that did not make a good plot

I was really enjoying this book at first but then things went downhill. The characters in this book drove me crazy. They’re like those annoying horror movie characters who are just SO DUMB that you want to yell at the screen. Some of their decisions were SO FRUSTRATING and it really ruined the book for me. By the end I wasn’t even interested anymore, and I didn’t find the ending very satisfying. 

I did enjoy the beginning though, so if you’re okay with characters making dumb decisions then maybe you’ll enjoy this.
