➽ Diana, a ghoul with morals and an excellent hacker every second he’s on the page is a fucking delight he keeps telling everyone he’s going to murder them in the basement. ➽ Marielle, a half-dolphin side character Something I absolutely adore about this story is the wide and interesting cast of side characters.
Schaeffer quickly gets you to root for people who are, on an objective level, awful neither Nita nor any other character are particularly good, but almost all of the characters are strangely likable. occasionally kind of brutal? But it is so engaging. This series is so interesting and new and revels so hard in being over the top and. Nita’s judgment that humans are no better than murderous unnaturals will likely play out further in the promised sequel after a twist ending that reveals who was truly responsible for her kidnapping.Nita really found out the world would try to kill her for money and decided the best solution was to become so scary no one would try… icon Eyes are gouged out, skin is peeled back, and bodies are dismembered with abandon, and the action ratchets up as quickly as the body count. She’s forced to take out more than a few people in order to make her escape, and her first kill leads to a moral crisis of OMG-what-did-I-just-do that quickly dissolves into a casual attitude regarding her actions, arguing with herself that her victims were bad dudes who deserved it. Bloody acts of violence pair with Nita’s contemplations over what truly makes a monster to create a thoughtful but gory thriller.
Then an act of mercy on Nita’s part leads to her kidnapping, and she’s held by ruthless criminals who want to sell her blood and body parts on the black market to buyers who believe her flesh will make them immortal. Seventeen-year-old Nita feels most comfortable in her laboratory with scalpel in hand as she dissects the dead bodies of “unnaturals,” humans and creatures with supernatural abilities, that her bounty hunter mother brings home.
