~The Butcher~Fifth Republic Series Book 2~Penelope Sky~

~Dual Narration~Ramona Master & Michael Ferraiuolo~

~I'm all for a morally grey MMC but I'm just not vibing with this one & I don't really care for the fmc either. I liked the MMC in book 1 but in this one, he just seems like a whiny, immature narcissist who brags about running the city when he can't stop thinking about how others fear him for five seconds. 

I also love spice in books but the spice in this one is just repetitive it feels like the same scene & words were just repeated every few chapters so even though it was high in spice it lacked in execution. Usually, a cliffhanger makes me want to continue a series but this one just didn't do it for me. 

The dual narration was good & I felt like each narrator voiced their characters well! The only thing I would change is making it Duet vs Dual only because the accent that the butcher has wasn't incorporated in the FMCS parts. 

~As Always Happy Reading~
