Cons:

- The characters are quite wooden, with their development either rushed, or done “off screen”.

- Some parts of the story are too shallow/glossed over, and others way too detailed; as such, the reading can be stilted, and jarring.

Pros:

- Absolutely wicked fun.

- Overall a good story, with some great action.

- The writing is somewhat simplistic, it's easy to get into the groove and visualise, and so it can be a real page turner.

I enjoyed it, and will likely read it again someday. I'm keen for the sequels.

Iris is a talented writer, and this is an excellent sequel to the first of Leo.

Thanks for the laughs, the horror, and the borderline heart attacks

Absolutely brilliant book. Great characters, believable premise, and wonderful suspense.

The characters are compelling, the story swift and full of suspense, and I hadn't figured it all out until the author wanted me to.

The three intertwined timelines in the same physical space was well done, and the interlinked stories easy to follow. For the most part the characters were well written, and the authors intent for your trust, distrust, like, and dislike felt very balanced.

Unfortunately I found the ending unsatisfying, and the relationship between the two “now” characters a bit too 2 dimensional, and their relationship troubles a bit disheartening.

Overall, I'm glad to have read it, and would recommend it.

This was a sensational read! So many characters, so many hidden sins, so much to unpack. I'll be spending a few days pondering over this story before I can pick up another...

The first 50 pages or so were a 2.5, the next 100 were a 3, and then the rest ramped between a 3.5 and a 4.
