• this writing style is PERFECT for a thriller
• the twists actually got me & that’s a hard thing to do at this point 
• the characters have a lot of support/backstory to their actions but I could’ve used a little more 😬
• I know this is probably the goal, but the setting, characters, plots & descriptions made me feel grimy (definitely check your trigger warnings for this one)
• I felt like the dual timeline was a really effective way to tell this story & it flowed smoothly
• the narration on the audiobook was absolutely incredible
• definitely got to the end and wanted to go back through everything I’d just read to make sense of everything

Now THAT was a twist I didn’t expect(eeked out is an understatement). If I’d been reading it in physical book form,I’d want to boil it.

Listened to it on 1.5 speed.I’m not sure if it’s the writing or the voice actor’s reading pace, but if it’s on normal speed I zone out within 5 minutes.Speeding it up turned it into a straight-through listen.

What a...strange book lol. Was it good? Sort of? Did it keep me reading and wanting to know where the hell this was going? Yes, it sure did. Very strange twists and things happening in the very last 2 chapters felt way more done for the pure shock of the twist than something that actually makes sense. But! It was still an entertaining read and kept me hooked, so it was good for that!

I have to say, when I started this book, I wasn’t really feeling it. I was half expecting to DNF it before the halfway point because lots of stuff what happening but I couldn’t see how it was all linked up. 

 

However, as I approached the halfway point I raced through the rest of it. I had so many questions that needed answering that it made me want to finish it. 

 

It took me up to about 3/4 of the way through the book to figure out what was going on. I had that sudden moment of realisation where all the little things that had been mentioned now made sense. I clearly didn’t know exactly what was going on as that last reveal really spun the whole plot around to something I was not expecting at all. Literally, my notes said “Oh no, that didn’t go where I expected it to. That’s so twisted.” 

 

I found it to be really weird and creepy, especially the last couple of chapters. However, with the unexpected grossness to the plot, I’m not sure how much I actually enjoyed it. 

 

Out of all of Feeney’s books that I’ve read so far, this is definitely not a favourite.
