Okay, she told Sebastian the truth. I'm shocked. I wonder what Death will do to punish her because of that.

I knew it. I mentioned this in the first couple of pages. If you are a reader of literature and know earlier works, then you know plots. She has her inspiration from Christopher Marlowe but with a Black, Southern and contemporary spin on it. I love it!

It reminds me of Christopher Marlow’s Doctor Faustus plot with the devil, but it's Death instead. That hooked me instantly and it's a southern Black woman that he's talking to and giving a chance at a longer life.

The last two days these characters have taken me on a rollercoaster. I hate Devonte. He is a capital L, LOSER! He needs to get TF out of the girls' suite. And, Vanessa, is definitely in on it for sure!

Poor Xavier. I am just so saddened by what he's had to endure. CTE is no joke.

Xavier is really going through it with this memory lapses and CTE. I also hate that he's dealing with his father's inherent racism.

That white dude needs his ass kicked and then that bricked knocked upside his head. Bobby needs some sense knocked upside his head. Then take that same rock and knock it upside his mama's head. This is CRAZY!! But it's a very compelling and fast read.

Well, shit, that escalated quick. Thomas, Tom, Dick,....whatever or whomever you are. What is you doing to these women and why? Whose baby is this? Why can't Lucky remember everything? Was she drugged before or during because she recognized Micah/Lyric? I'm gon have to look back at these pages to make sense of all this, but it's a good story thus far.

I knew the dad was suspect.

Austin is kind and fun to Clio. And a good fuck. Can't go wrong there.

I would be sooooo very mad at my sisters for lying to me.

It's a shame how they are rewriting these memories to shame and mark
their mother as bad, crazy, and unfit for parenting.

I like what Harrison is doing with memory here.

I don't trust her sisters. They know something and they are not divulging it.

Kamala is funny. She in here calling these folks out left and right. I'm loving it. I'm on day 49 now.

I knew it would be some mess when dealing with white men in government. I respect Joe, but I hate that Kamala wasn't given a fair shot when Trump was able to act like a complete asshat and disgrace the American presidential experience.

Avery Keene is so very smart. I love how she uncovers these puzzles and crimes so effortlessly.

Milo is crazy. The AI is out of control. This is what scares me about the AI--taking over and doing what it wants. How do we regulate and control it without malfunction?

Oh, wow, so the daddy is just playing God and making monsters because of his sorrow and grief. I don't agree with this, but I do understand the selfish need to not to want to get rid of a loved one. I think this reanimation gift is more of a curse instead.

Whattttttttttt! Noah, why Ms. Bayron? What is the purpose? This ain't fair one bit. One strike for making me sad.

I know that AI is going to be a big part of our future, but this book really details the dangers and costs of how harmful it can be to certain marginalized populations in the U.S. And these machines/robots seem to have lost their mind or rather programming.

Meka's daddy has "pet ravens." I already don't like birds, but out of all the birds to have as a "dear companion"--just seems so ominous and eccentric. But hey wouldn't most people who decide to be morticians and enter into the life of the dead.

"This one is giving me a different vibe than the other two books. It's doing a lot more in the plot and it's somewhat losing me. I'm not going to DNF, but the music is not so much as central to the plot as the other books were. He's somewhat circling outside of his wheelhouse and I don't like it."

Rachel is dead ass beat down on sight. First and foremost. You heffa. A man is always capable of cheating, but your best friend--you are GRIMEY!!!

Morris sets this up like a friendly conversation between friends. The research is impeccable.

I can't stand Malik's mama. I'm bout to burn this page in my mama every time she get on the page. Just get off the page if you got some damage to cause. Go to therapy, Malik mama.

Congrats to Savon and D Low. I'm so glad that they won!! Yay! And I'm glad I'm finally on ACT III.

Damn, ain't nobody leaving Malik alone. They just want him to fight and get angry. Now, he's lost Dom. Leave this kid alone. He ain't got his mama, granny, his brother, and now Dom. Y'all taking so much from him. He gonna get through this.

Malik's mama is just no good. She pisses me off. The getting together with Alexis.

John Henry--what is you hiding? What did you do to your sister?

Malik, come on now, why you let your anger hurt Taye? Chill out, bro. I know it was an accident, but I proud of you for handling it out in therapy.

Ugh to the queer/homophobes on campus--they suck!

--This book is thick AF.
