I almost DNF’d this book TWICE. Because unfortunately this was a weak story even though it has really solid potential… I knew it would be “campy” but I feel like there was something missing in the dialogue- like the words were falling flat, and things were still unexplained by the end of the book. Additionally, there was a lack of character background and development which made it hard to get invested. I hardly remembered who was who in the friend group, and the descriptions were SPARSE.
the weird ass “owl” Group by elitist white people, was never explained in depth, and we don’t know who started the group, or why. It was trying to copy something like the Illuminati but the author rushed the end, and left chunks of the story out. I like that Charity in the end gets resurrected by her girlfriend who was the only survivor, but there was still so much that could’ve been added and less stuff in the beginning.
Last thing to mention …I’m not a fan of a rushed ending, but at least this was a quick enough read. LOL
