WTAF did I just read? The book started out strong and intriguing, I wanted to know what was in the trunk… then when you find out so begins the downward spiral… it felt like the author couldn’t decide on themes to explore and so just vomited all of them in for the sake of it.

All characters lack depth and I felt nothing for all of them.

It reads like someone’s first attempt to write a book and no one has reviewed it.. is this book western? Historical? Horror? Fantasy? LGBTQ+? Feminist? Well why not everything just for S&G? 

I was tempted to DNF this but wanted a stupid reading challenge award…if not for that I would have DNF it.
