4.0
Even though the first half of the book was a bit slow, I really enjoyed getting to know our main character and her dog, as well as the relationships she forms with the people in town. The writing style was fun and even though I did find some small bits sortaā¦this is not how people talk but how the author imagines is a hip way to speak, I still thought a lot of the narration was humorous and I liked Mouse as a person. Iād definitely want to grab a coffee with her. Also the ongoing bit about NPR pledge week was hysterical.Ā
I must say I did think some parts of this book where frightening.
The ending was where things kinda flipped for me but I didnāt hate it either, some bits where good and some bits felt meh.
Overall this was a solid read that Iād recommend to anyone who enjoys folklore, a good mystery, tense but not too scary or gory, and some fun characters with good humor even in the face of horror. Iāll definitely be trying something else by T. Kingfisher in the future.Ā
