2023 Re-read: Still just as fantastic and dark as I remember! This story hits all the marks for this macabre loving reader. I truly do not get enough of this kind of story. Upon reread, I think I appreciate Dawes more than the first time through. She has a lot more to offer us. Alex is so damaged yet so strong. I admire her growth and development. It’s been three years since my first read and I am no less excited for Hell Bent.
