I really hesitated on my rating. 4,75 or 5... I finally decided to give it 5 stars because the book really caught my breath. I was hesitating whether to give it 4,75 stars only because of the beginning. I found it kinda slow, but at the same time, I was in a semi-reading slump soooo I decided it didn't count.
I really liked how the characters were already experienced in the matter. They were already finals girls. They knew how it worked, how to react, how to take decisions. I also liked to follow Lynne throughout her decisions whether it was bad or not. I didn't alway follow her in her way of thinking, but I still continue to follow her in her story without asking any questions. I wasn't disappointed.
Also, the way things were described... Yes. Short, simple sentences. Right of the goal. Description of the violence, not scared of using crude words... It can't be difficult for some, but, personally, I really liked that. It had more impact in my opinion.

Like I said, it has crude words. It is very explicite. We can literally see the scenes with blood, screams and stuff. The author wasn't scared of using the true words, but it can be triggers for some. Be careful.
