I'm almost angry enough at this book to give it a one star.. This a great book???? Pfftttt!!!
Also it's becoming increasingly clear that for the most part, authors in the sub genre of grim dark are more concerned with how foul (in terms of curse words) their characters are and describing how people's intestines are falling out to give diddly squat in terms of an amazing plot. 

The plot, the characters, everything about this book was flat, Like my gawd!! it felt like they were all freaking bored of their lines. So lifeless, no spirit whatsoever except it was to say fuck or some other inventive curse word. On the one hand you had a delusional MC (however given how little page time he had, that title is up for discussion) who was beyond stupid, like holy crap how did noone stab his brains out??? , then a bunch of people you're not even sure fit into the whole scheme of things. Every character in this book felt like they were doing their own thing with big middle finger to the central theme of the series. Which really when you think about it even, this book is missing.

I know people can curse. Heck i know people can be killed in inventive ways that'll make your jaw drop and your eyes go wide (You might not know this Luke Scull, but chances are most of your readers have read at least one book about psychotic killers with inventive killing methods), what i would really like you to do is write a book that seems like it's going somewhere and characters that actually contribute to the plot. Look at Sasha for example, one minute the girl was normal next thing she's always angry and snorting nacortics???? TF!!!

All in all this book fails to deliver, if you're looking for a bunch of people hurling out curse words at every turn and gore. This might be the book for you. However in terms of an engaging plot, it really doesn't cut it.
