I really didn’t think I missed mystery/thrillers as much as I did, but this was so refreshing to read. The world-building was done really well, the author brought the setting to life and was able to bring in the creepy vibes with the plot. I liked how the author was able to bring the supernatural to life without taking it away from the mundane world of a detective as well.
I will say not all the characters were a hit for me, some of the background and/or the side characters fell a little flat. However, everyone fell into the plot of the story rather well, each person having their role in the book.
The Narrator (Stephanie Canon) did such a good job bringing this book to life. The different voices for each character and the voice acting brought the emotion out with any line she said.
Thank you to the author, Dreamscape Select, Storm Publishing, and NetGalley for this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. It was a really nice mystery.
