DNF @ 60%
When I say I tried, I TRIED.Â
I’ve been reading this since June 10th (today is September 10th) and I only got to 60%.Â
I don’t mind dark books, but this is DARK and bleak - making for a combination that had me putting down my kindle after each chapter. I tried this on Kindle via eGalley as well as audio from Libby.Â
While I know that it’s important for authors to inform readers of things that often get forgotten by using fiction, I get concerned when they started using overly descriptive language that seems like it would fit more in a romance novel. Â
I wish that she had used the River aspect more because once that was gone, there was no flow.Â
I finally set it down once animal neglect was added in because of course the author just has to pile on more dark things.Â
I will say, the narrator for this is fantastic. Without the audio, I’m not sure I would have gotten to 60%.Â

So many content warnings for this book. If you have any triggers at all, I’d recommend researching content warnings before reading it.layton93's review against another edition
