3.5,
It was a good listen but I was not in Love with this one. It has good characters and some development but maybe the story was to short for the type of development I was looking for. Overall it was a great story but it left me wanting more but also wanting to stop the story every so often.

3.5 from me. Very enjoyable. The characters feel grounded and real even in the more fantastical and horror filled sections. But, I honestly wish that there was more to this. It was a bit too short. The MC’s gender and queerness are only explored up to a certain point and it could’ve been much stronger. Still worth the time though.

3.5 stars. While I enjoyed this as a nice quick read and my introduction to audio books, I just wish it was longer. And while the narrator does a great job, the amount of times the names Jacob and Paimon are repeated really got on my nerves by the end. Also, the ending is really confusing so I almost feel like it needs a sequel or a spin off to fully clarify what happened.

I love all things creepy and spooky but this one just didn't tick the right boxes.
There were elements I enjoyed and while I thought the main character had some strong internal conflict the rest just fell a bit flat. Might be fun to check out if you are looking for horror that is inclusive of the LGBTQA community but for me it was lacklustre.
Just because a story is inclusive doesn't make it good. The story also falls a bit short in the ending without much really being resolved.
