-Trigger Warning
-Loved the Damien werewolves, gives a different twist to typical witches and werewolves hatred

-Anya is a constant surprise, like Zeke, I feel for V but damn do I hate creepy pushing and his terrible options, I like Mal but she's not had much time to shine, Adam is an awful overprotective ass but I -don't hate him yet, and I'm surprised how much I don't hate Mad.
-Love the 5 Finger Death Punch inspiration, must listen to it. My roommate is a huge fan of them so it should work out. :D
-Very curious where it's going and must continue series
