~ Quick Summary ~
Rhiannon is a seemingly normal person and we follow her everyday life “blending in� which is nothing but a facade to disguise her inner psychopathic tendencies and joys of killing people. She is like Dexter.
~ Pick this up if you enjoy/don’t mind ~
😂 Constant dark humour and sarcasm and/or
🙍 Constant whining, negativity and just hating life (I found her more annoying than witty)
🩸 Explicit and gory scenes (First time I cringed)
🙍♂� Anti-hero protagonist like Dexter
🤬 Vulgar language
What I didn’t enjoy
Since Rhiannon gave her kill list every chapter, let me give you mine:
One� Rhiannon. She was so one dimensional and just didn’t stop whining. Bloody hell she got on my nerves.
How can a psychopath and serial killer’s life be so boring? The book focused more on Rhiannon’s mundane side of her life and how much she hated her job, friends and partner. Well, her whole life really. I wanted a complex character, someone who I would feel conflicted to root for (like Dexter and Joe). Instead I got a bitter and whiny child. It was irritating.
I didn’t like the writing style. It was in the form of a diary with some dialogue so I felt abstracted away from what was happening and it felt like I was being told rather than shown. Each diary entry was a chapter and they were discrete events so I couldn’t really follow along or remember what had happened before. Even after the exciting chapters, nothing much would follow after and there was no to little tension afterwards. She clearly got a certain high from killing so I would’ve expected her to write more about that but nop. Instead, let's hear more about how much she hates her colleagues.
I didn’t like the language, it was so vulgar and immature at times, for example: “Sucks balls, major cheese balls�.
