I liked this book so much more than I thought I was going to! It’s a love story, but a very peculiar, dark one. Big fan!

I enjoyed the story so much that I wish the book was longer and not as fast paced as it is. While I think the ending might be controversial, I'm happy to say I liked it a lot.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I loved the characters, the setting, the story, everything about it! And the narrator does a fantastic job.

I surprised myself with this one. I went into thinking it was going to be extremely meh. And then in the first few chapters I was disturbed - to say the least. But I wound up enjoying myself.

Sure the little twist at the end felt a bit too fantastical to me, but overall the story was an enjoyable one. Lots of the pieces throughout were tied up neatly with a bow - no loose ends, which we love.

For those about to dive in, it's everything that you expect and nothing like it, all at the same time. Don't know what I mean? Best just get cracking and dive in for yourself!
