I could totally see them dying for real and switching the main character or something but, that would be an instant drop for me. So I'm interested to see what they do.
After a chapter like this the only way to feel good about the ending would be Philip being destroyed in some way. Having someone that evil is crazy lol.
I feel like this series had an interesting premise but then it spiraled with the killings and take over the world plot. Things just couldn't stay simple I suppose.
