A review by mcipher
Hostile Takeover by Shane Kuhn

2.0

I keep going back and forth about this one. I didn’t necessarily like it, but it wasn’t bad, really. Over the top and full of violence, which i expected , but also lots weird extraneous details - so many mentions of designer clothing and coy allusions to weird sex. The book just felt too aware of itself and like the author was trying to hard to be edgy and funny. It lost the wow factor of the first book, the crazy weirdness that kept me reading and laughing. I hated all the characters, but you expect that - they are awful people. And I feel like the twist was just silly and forced. The last book also had a crazy twist, but that one I thought was kind of awesome. All that said - I’ve decided that for me this book didn’t work, but I could see someone else loving it.
