This book let me downnnnn, man. 
  • the characters are never challenged. They never lose, they never face defeat :///
  • there's no character development, the only character development is actually from Fabricio who is the evil fucking guy in this story
    • Nita doesn't change. Kovit doesn't change. His sister's character was pointless with respect to the story too like ?? 
  • the series should've just been one book ughhhhh 
  • first book in the series was good because of the new and interesting concept/premise aka cryptid creatures walking among humans
  • second book was Okayyyyy because it expanded the world a bit, we were given Adair and some loose ends were semi-tied up
  • BUT THIS BOOK MANNN, I expected some development but yeah, a third in and I realised am not going to get that lol
    • THIS ENTIRE SERIES HAPPENS OVER THE COURSE OF LESS THAN ONE (1) MONTH GENUINELY HOW
