So much repetitive inner monologue

In the first book, Mercy is a strong female. She's a fighter who usually acts before thinking, which honestly, I think was the more interesting part of the first book.

The problem is, this book has her thinking a lot more than acting and when she is thinking, she just thinks in circles. Repetitive, boring and unhelpful circles. Then when she acts, she contradicts most of the things she's spent hours droning on about in her inner monologue. Incredibly frustrating. Nothing wrong with a thinker, but it would be nice if she used some of the intelligence or at least "street smarts" someone like Mercy should have.

From the first book, a lot of things make little sense and even when you try and look passed them, they kind of grind your gears: she's instantly trusted by 3 high ranking gang members despite her predicament, shes watched everyday at school but can go out on her own and meet with her friend etc.

I found the plot twist really predictable, but maybe I've just read a lot of these types of books.

Sloan has no redeeming qualities so far and I dont really see how that could realistically change over the next 2 books in the series
