For a short read, I thought this was pretty good. I really liked that the chapters were shared between The Butcher and Wren - I liked seeing both of them as the hunter and the hunted. I liked the cliffhanger & I want to see what happens in the next book.
However, due to the shortness of the book, it didn’t feel that there was much depth to the characters and the plot. The page count has about 20 pages of padding which includes book club questions, and I feel that this page space could have been used on the story instead.
