This was a challenging read during an election year.  I cried, closed the book, and stomped away from it at least once (IYKYK).  I laughed out loud many times.  The running jokes from the past two novels were on point! The characters interactions were so well developed.  Zoey Ashe for president.

169 pages.... how did I become so emotionally involved with these characters in 169 pages? This was gruesome and beautiful and a solid gut punch. Five stars.

I knew going in that it would be good and my assumption was correct.  Could not put this down.  Gage Greenwood creates the best monsters!
