Yes bringing back the surrealism. Go crazy Mars do it

Incredibly unlikable people doing nothing on an island. I feel like people should just watch Bodies Bodies Bodies to get what they want

Very rare that a book makes me actually nauseous lol this one is for the MakeLiteratureWeird girlies

I'm sorry one of the big influencers name is HELLA BADID this is either going to be so bad or so funny or both

This is so frustrating because it's TOO REAL I hate the south

Okay it's getting more interesting now. Reyna's got a bit of a goal and there's some plot brewing. Not a well fleshed out one, and I hope we don't have to deal with Penny a lot, but it's something

Feels like another semi fantasy where not a lot happens. Everything is just dragged out so much when there is an actual plotline, but nothing has been exciting or all that interesting

Sllloooowww with this backstory but it's not bad

Unironically calling a character "an enigma wrapped up in a mystery" is...a choice.
Reyna also flip flops her feelings on a DIME. Beckham doesn't prepare her at all, but I am curious about what his deal is

I would not be scared to live with a handsome vampire, get everything for free and do nothing all day. But that's just me

Yeah this is just fine. I like the actual revenge plots theyre carrying out, but the first half didn't seem to mean much, nor does the fact that they're old.

I love the queer issues in the background here. The horror is awesome but so is Mars struggle just to be respected, even the other queer boy doesn't want to associate with them

Reading this again because it's amazing and I felt like it. Plus I want to try physically annotating!

Not loving the flashback stuff, a lot of tradition femme fatale stuff that we've seen before. It's been more interesting to see them as older women, but I'm worried it will turn into a typical "spy without the agency" story

I definitely like the characters especially Billie, but this exposition dump in the fourth chapter goes on way too long

I love the emotions in Mars. A complicated fellow I see
"Lace doilies creep over the ancient wooden furniture like sugary fungus." This writing is also so good

this is already so weird and im loving it

Okay so there IS an actual game going on, just separate from the active kidnapping situation that only Eve seems to be worried about. Also I don't like that Jameson is becoming more protective. And Grayson seems sadder than I remember lol

Yeah idk if saying over and over that she's playing a game doesn't really make it a game more than a mystery. Someone's messing with Avery but it's not a puzzle like the first book anymore

A time skip... interesting. Not sure why her turning 18 would really change anything now that killing her wouldn't change the inheritance
