Based on the title, I expected (and wanted) to follow an entirely villainous character. However, Davi is so desensitized to death (both hers and those around her) since she has been reincarnated into the same life so many times.
Davi has a strong character voice and somewhat kooky inner monologue (very fourth wall breaking), which will likely rub some readers the wrong way (especially since she is so clearly a woman written by a man), but I enjoy strong character choices.
Overall, this was the start of a fun and intriguing world to explore, and it was exciting to see Davi use her vast knowledge from her past lives to outsmart and work around her problems.
I am definitely intrigued enough to pick up the second book when it comes out.
