A Mask of Flies by Matthew Lyons
5.0
This was such a wild ride from start to finish. There was not one part where I had any idea where the story was going to go. And this book has everything: crime, horror, a cult, gore, the supernatural, and even a very sweet relationship that I was not expecting to make me emotional. I really loved all of it.
For as long as this book is (almost 450 pages), it is incredibly well paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat. There was not one moment where I was tired of what was going on. It was action-packed and unpredictable.
The characters were also very well written, in my opinion. I absolutely adored Anne and Gemma, and I even grew to enjoy Dutch's character as well. They were all extremely flawed individuals, but they were believable and loveable all the same. And the same goes for the characters we were meant to dislike like Travis and Win; I REALLY hated them.
I don't think this book will be everyone's cup of tea, just because there are so many elements to it. But I think the author did an excellent job of taking everything in this story and blending it together in such a cohesive and entertaining way.
