When I was listening to the Honeys a week ago I went to look at the author's other titles, read this one's synopsis, and knew I had to read it soon. I was thinking about the synopsis all week before I picked this up.

I really enjoyed this. I loved the main character, there were a lot of times I laughed out loud, and the overall story was SO creepy. The story feels like it could exist in the same universe as the Honeys and shares a lot of similarities to it, and I feel like there was an Easter egg in there

Spoiler

(the bit where they were at that death collectors gallery and some ladies were talking about a sundial that killed someone?)

- also the audiobook is really good, I loved the sound effects added to the story (though I will admit some of the voices were a liiiittle bit grating).
