The pain of going through sexual abuse is visceral in both the author’s portrayal and the voice acting. I think there can sometimes be a bit of guilt in the anger that comes up when processing the grief. This book gives you permission to feel that rage.

I had mixed feelings on the characters. I could go on a whole rant on why Lucas and his use of a camera bothers me, mocking his victims, but there are clear moments where there is some good in him somewhere, while Quinn is simply a hunter not giving much thought to what it means to take life to survive, but has a lot of room to grow and has huge character development throughout. The main character is frustratingly still caught in the cycle of abuse, to the point where Quinn can seem overly controlling as he tries to help pull her out of it, but anyone who has been in the thick of it will understand its not that simple to just step away.

Keeping in mind this is the first book of many, with characters who have a long journey ahead of them to heal, it was a powerful rendition of how the healing process feels. It is messy, you have to unlearn patterns, make hard choices, step into the unfamiliar… and all the while there is fun supernatural shenanigans sprinkled in. And by shenanigans, I mean murder. And it felt so good to listen as a rapist finally got what they deserved.

It starts out quirky, a hilarious head-shaking time, then this eerie tone sets in and it’s like… wait what did I sign up for? Then more quirk and little tastes of suspense. I wish I had more yet Im left satisfied.

👍 Love to taste.

The voice of the reader sounds very similar to Sally, but she is a disappointing character, the “twists” provoke an eyeroll, and dont make a drinking game of everytime she brings up Jack… her whole personality revolves around him. I kept reading hoping it might get better, and it doesn’t.

I very satisfying conclusion to a great series. Im so sad its over, but I know there are more great things to come from TJ Klune. The speech at the end was a speech for all of us in the queer community. We heard you <3 we love you. You are extraordinary!
