3.0

3.5 stars

*sighs* well, I'm finally done with this book.
So when I started this book, for the first 50 pages or so I was bored. after that It pretty interesting for a while. I was breezing through it, impressed with the writing and overall thinking this will make a good Book. It wasn't afraid to go full gore and it was pretty well written. But then all of the sudden it started to get a little boring, and then it's like I slammed into a wall. I don't think I picked this up for like a month in a half for more than a couple pages here and there. I was debating on not finishing it actually. But I couldn't exactly place what it was that was making me uninterested in this book anymore.
Finally today I decided to look up the audio book to this and ended up finishing the book that way. At first it was still uninteresting. But it quickly picked up. However listening to the audio made me realize some problems in the book that I didn't notice that I had with some characters and right where I started was right before...
Spoiler Cas realizes he's in love with Anna. Their relationship previously so far in the book made me a little happy they were kinda taking it slow, even though the synopsis indicates there will be some romance. It was almost an out of no where and insta love vibe, which I didn't like. They spent two months together, but it went from 0 to 50 in record time
.
The execution for the gore was pretty well. At some points it kinda seems like the author is trying to jab gore down your throat, but overall I was impressed.
The spoiler I mentioned and when it got pretty boring are the reasons I gave a couple stars off. But I think it was the audio book that made me want to continue to the next one. Its not a big book anyway. Should be fine...right?
