The plot was quite predictable, the final fight underwhelming and the characters lack any sort of flaws. I feel like some authors forget that having trauma is not a flaw.
I absolutely loved Win Lose Kill Die by this author (the very first book I read by her), so I was really excited to read the others. The Midnight Game was a bit slower but good, even if the characters mostly lacked any sort of flaws. Again, having trauma does not count as a flaw.
I still in all honestly flew through it (the last one to die), inspite of the previous mentioned things, and that the times she was hanging with her crush were giving me the second hand embarrassment of my life.
The book is still fast-paced and below 300 pages. I like the writing style (apart from well what I mentioned) and quite enjoyed the tidbits about the mc’s heritage and accent. Also, I at the time did not have another book on me. This one kept me entertained and away from reality so there‘s that.
And the 0.25 stars are for Derek and museum dude (I am absolutely terrible with names, forgive me), bc they‘re adorable ❤️
