This was such a good read. I really enjoyed Joy and her plan for revenge. Malachi is such a sweet boy. It is dealing with difficult topics so be sure to read CWs.

I Crave Violence
I knew going into this book I would end up loving it. It was only a matter of time until I got to it to be able to read it. I didn't realize it would become one of my favorite reads of February.
The Characters
Joy: I loved Joy's character so fucking much, y'all. I needed to see someone who went through what I went through and had the same reactions as I did. It was so comforting to realize I am not the only one who got stuck on one particular part of the grieving process. I loved her resilience and the way she carried herself and cared for herself through all of this.
Malachi: Sweet, precious Malachi. I loved this demon so much it wasn't even funny. I'm still debating whether or not I want to put him on the book partners list. He deserves it for sure with the way he cherished Joy and cared for her through all of her grieving process.
Things I Loved
I honestly loved everything about this book and don't know that there was anything I didn't like. It was so wonderful and it portrayed the grieving process in such a real manner. I really appreciated that Joy didn't regret her decision and that there was no moment of being the "bigger person" in this because it would have felt so empty. It was something I appreciated experiencing and being able to feel valid in my decision to hold onto my anger.
Things I Didn't Love
I don't think there was anything I didn't like about this book.
The Final Verdict
I cannot express enough how much you need to get on top of this read. Be sure to check your trigger warnings, but if you are comfortable reading this content, then do not hesitate to pick up a copy of this.
