This book was a whole lot of fun and I enjoyed every moment of it!
Starting off, we're given these two characters, Spencer and Bart, who aren't good particularly good people by any means, but you end up rooting for them the entire time. They're messy, they're selfish, they're criminals, and yet I found myself waiting to see what they would do next, intrigued by their characters' developments.
I adore books that mix gothic and horror elements with humor to create a fast-paced, entertaining novel that never leaves you bored. Having these two crooks fight demons is such a fascinating concept, and the length of the story makes it well executed. Short and to the point.
The writing style is simple and easy to follow, though that is why I didn't give it 5 stars. I think there was room for more description, but it doesn't take anything away from the story being told.
I would definitely recommend this book to others, and the way this book ended makes me excited for more Spencer and Bart!
Thanks to NetGalley for access to this novel.
