★Review★
I have to admit, when I picked this up and started reading it, I thought for a second I had opened the wrong book, it seemed to be going off in a different direction than I expected.
It took till nearly 20% of the book (according to the kindle) for the actual “story” to start really.
For me, there was far too much time spent on the whole “being fired, looking for a new job, interview for the new job” etc aspect. (and given the book ends at 86% on my kindle, which sort of annoyed me, as I expected more story) it made even less sense to have nearly 20% of a story that ends at 86% spent on imo non important stuff.
Bane was not what I expected from the blurb. Yes he was violent and a killer and what not, but he seemed watered down from what you would have expected.
But, in saying that, I did enjoy it, and found myself rooting for Bane and Ava.
However for me, it all happened a bit to quick, in a matter of days she is perfectly willing to be off with an entire new life, with only a token regret given to her family.
Another issue, for me, is that I do not like when an author describes a character as looking like this famous person or that famous person. I just prefer a description so I can build a picture in my head on my own. And it happened 3-4 times in this book with different characters. But that is just a personal preference.
I am unsure how the series is going to go on, this is book 1 apparently in (The Depraved Club), yet given the rest of the MC members were truly awful, as were any members of the DC itself I cannot see any future MC from among them
