I liked the characters and the narration. The story was a little over the top.

Evil Lurks everywhere.

There are so many twists and turns in this novel. The ending is what I expected but took a while getting there.

shallow and a bit cringy. the plot is really lacking and the protagonist is arrogant and self righteous
