 This is a light read if you're used to serial killer and dark things. 

Rhiannon sucks. Not a shock considering she is a serial killer. She also does that weird neurotypical thing where she hangs out with people she hates. She claims it cover but still, not a very good one. She hates everyone so she is randomly ableist. It’s at least two times. She somewhat of mixed of doing likable things for the wrong reason and you know, being a serial killer who gets off on killing people. She only kills bad people, but she is herself a bad person. I love grey characters, but I can’t decide if Rhiannon is compelling or mildly annoying. She is definitely meant to be unlikable at time, with history that explains some of her behaviour.
