I got turned on to this author via the 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hugo and I have to say this book did not disappoint. I enjoyed that it was more of a suspense thriller as opposed to a classic whodunit. It did take awhile for me to get more interested and engaged with some of the characters pov’s.

I'm conflicted on Turton because I feel like he's too smart and has too many ideas for his own good and I find myself peaking behind the curtain a little too often. Like I tend to get What He's Doing during certain scenes more than I enjoy reading them and going on the journey that the book wants to take me on.
Regardless, I'll keep reading his stuff cause I genuinely believe he's only going to get better as he keeps going and that excites me.
Actual reveal was a bit of a cop out, you sorta had to see it coming about half way through the book but I also think that was maybe part of the whole deal? Idk, I felt similar about the last book but I still very much enjoyed parsing the story out as I went along.

This was a pretty easy read but at the same time kept me guessing. I didn’t enjoy this as much as the Seven deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, but I did enjoy the concepts and the writing style.
Tbh it has a similar plot of the seven deaths with a mystery needing to be solved within a certain timeframe and someone who has lots of information not sharing it with the main characters.
I thought the futuristic setting of the book we pretty interesting and the concept of creating human like creatures to do all of the dirty work humans don’t want to do.
I felt like I didn’t really have a whole lot of respect for Niema with her experimenting on innocent humans, like I know she was trying to improve humanity but those people didn’t have a choice. Also who said she could just decide what was going to happen to all of humanity??
I enjoyed the short chapters and felt like it was an easily digestible book with some fun commentary on human kind.
