Seriously though… this one makes next to no sense. Almost like it’s trying too hard to be a psychological thriller and manages to lose what makes good thrillers. Like, I don’t know… being something that could actually happen? I wasn’t really a fan of this book from early on but of course, I just had to know where this story was going. Sad to say, it didn’t really go anywhere good.
Nearly every part of this story was unbelievable. From the actions to the words to just… all of it. It was so unrealistic and that alone makes it hard to go along with as you read. On top of that, the characters are unlikeable at best and many parts of the story are pretty pointless and unnecessary. And like many other books in this genre, they take far too long to get to the point and then speed through big twists in the last few pages. I mean, I understand these twists can’t start at the beginning and last the entire book, but why must we always waste so much time on pointless things for hundreds of pages and then blow past the most interesting parts in the last five sentences? Maybe this genre just isn’t for me.
I was sucked in by the description and cover art but let down pretty hard by the actual story. The writing wasn’t awful so I’ll give it 2 stars but that’s all I can offer. It’s always a shame when the description offers more than the rest of the book.

Wow! The ending did surprise me, and they both ended up being very screwed up. I could have used it without all the animal death, blood, and gore. That got a bit extreme at points.
It was a very twisty thriller and not what I expected. But it kept me engaged.
Narrator Rating: 5 stars!
Both narrators were amazing. Great with the voices and tonal shifts.
