There are a lot of errors in the book, such as switching character names. There is a spot where Felicity is talking to Tress, and when it switched to narrate what Tress is doing, it has Felicity’s name.
The ended also just felt lazy. It didn’t seem like a cliff hanger. It was just the end is the book. It seemed like she was going to go somewhere, got bored or distracted, and then decided because it will have a sequel it was good enough.
Also the cat POVs take away from the story and don’t make any sense to me whatsoever.

I will say that McGinnis is great at writing extremely dark characters, and this absolutely shines through the book. There isn't really anyone you want to root for, as everyone in the cast has a dark secret hidden somewhere. This is fast-paced and dark and very much feels like a Poe story. Perhaps not my favorite book so far this year, but you can't deny that it's well written and does suck you in.
