I really wanted to love this, but I had such a hard time keeping track of who the possible villain was, and the description of character choreography was so vague sometimes that I couldn't figure out who was doing what.
The prose is really juicy and descriptive, and I liked a lot of the characters, but I kept taking breaks from reading this because it just couldn't hook me. Took me months to finish.
So while I did enjoy this book I think it's hard to compare sequels to the first and I definitely enjoyed the first book a lot more, I found the multiple character point of view a lot less enjoyable, and I also found that it felt at times like there was just too much going on. The end also wasn't great and felt a bit rushed. However it was still very enjoyable and a good book ! Closer to a 4.5
This took everything I liked about CHAINSAW and made it better. I LOVED the multi POV and would 100% recommend the audiobook because it's full cast. chef's kiss
