This was super confusing for me to read. Because I don’t like horror, politics, THAT level of gore, and apparently bugs in my books. BUT the storytelling was incredible, the romance was subtle but so well crafted, I liked the sister aspect that helped push the story along, I liked the friends aspects of Kathleen and Rosalind and the dynamic between those two sisters, I like Marshall and Benedict and the thing that happened with Marshall at the end and that fucking plot twist my dude?! How can you do that on the very last page!!!! Wild!!! So good. I was certain I wasn’t gonna read book two because of the first few things I mentioned but the story and the characters and the plot twists were just too good. I can’t not read book two. So here I go!!
