Bunny

hmm...
Character descriptions were really strong and this came through when she is indoctrinated into their cult and calls them all “bunny”, yet the reader can still differentiate between each of them. I thought that the bits with Ava were really special because of this as well. The book reminds me a bit of “These Violent Delights” in that I enjoyed it, but there was some integral part missing that kept me from really loving it. But overall an interesting and well-executed novel. One thing that did aggravate me was Awad's use of the term “so much” or “so many” (as in, “the [blank] [blanked] like so much/many [blank]”). I noticed this on the first few pages when she used it twice in two or three consecutive sentences, and then I couldn't stop picking it up, and she uses it quite a lot. Most authors have certain words that they use over and over it their novels, and I don't usually mind when I notice, but this particularly grated at me because she uses it so much in really unnecessary places where the sentence would have been just as poetic and maybe read better if she had taken it out. But this minor gripe aside a fun and addictive read, would read another by her if I saw it at the library and the synopsis grabbed me.
