Weird, pretty original, irreverently funny, and way too long. Lots of time skipping and POV shifting, so if that's not your thing, beware. The excessive length comes from how drawn-out the attack is as well as from lots of things that seem only partially related to the main story.

I really really wanted to like this book. The opening segment caught my interest and I was invested! Then we proceeded to learn about the events of the regional supernatural office ran by women with super powers. Which sounds awesome! But, in reality, I struggled to connect with the characters, as well as follow the story. The story was told in several different points of view and from several different points in time. I kept waiting for it to come together, but felt unsatisfied with the end. I would recommend reading vs audio, maybe that would have been easier to follow! However, due to the personalities of the characters, it wasn't a good fit for me!
