This series has the craziest shit.
I mean the incest?! And the author was like he’s adopted but he’s still her cousin. Oh my god
I feel like Kate should not be a police officer she’s so emotionally involved. But I’m going to keep reading the series.

What the fuck was the book?
I thought this book had a lot of potential, but the ending is so weird.
The house can walk? Wtf?
It honestly lost me. This whole book was a mind fuck.

I could not get with this main character. Like the love interest isn’t even mean to her. And I get that video gaming is extremely sexist and probably terrible but omg the mc is exhausting.
