Overall this was a fun book to read but there were a lot of issues with the book as well. Too many characters were introduced just as they were killed and there is a main character that ended up not impacting the plot in any real way and felt like a forgotten piece. I find Adam Cesare to be a fun writer and I enjoy his B-movie prose. I plan on reading anything and everything that he writes. Also, it should be noted that he gets better with every book and I can tell that even when reading his works out of order.
