I truly don’t know how to start this review. Don’t get me wrong, I did like reading Carnage and learning more about Saint, but truly, it was way too long. I wish the story was set up/written like The Sinner or The Sacrifice, then it wouldn’t have been so predictable.

Half of the book we learn about who Ashtyn and why and how she ended up with Saint. There’s a lot going on and a lot of missing information in the first part of the book. In the second part of the book, we get the answers on why everything happened the way it did. I feel as if the second part of the book was rushed but that’s just me.
