I loved the beginning of this book but the second half had some serious pacing issues. The budding romance between two of the main characters was the best part of the book aside from the murderous debauchery and I felt like that aspect gets neglected at the end.

This was the hardest to read book I’ve ever encountered and I’ve read some very gruesome and scary books. Be kind to yourself while reading this.
