This story was really fun to read. It was ironic and trashy and gory and it was refreshing for these aspects.
But it had it's problems. For one, there were too many characters introduced that weren't important to the story and it made following the whereabouts of the main characters difficult, in my opinion. Also the writing style wasn't my favorite. It was switching between different pov's mid-scene and again made it difficult to follow the story and the characters.
The big reveal was super predictable, in my opinion but I don't think that was the point of this story so it's fine.
Another thing that had nothing to do with the story but was really bothering me, was the absence of enough editing pre-publication. A lot of times necessary small words were missing, like "to" or also pronouns and some others. And also some times you could see where a sentence structure was changed because words weren't deleted in the process (for example "he" directly followed by "his" and the sentence made sense with "his"). It made the experience of reading the book a little irritating and I feel like it would have benefited from another round of editing.
