A review by niftyreads
Here in the Dark by Alexis Soloski
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
Thanks, Macmillian Audio, for the gifted audiobook!
I requested for two reasons: Laura Benanti was the narrator, and the MC was a theatre critic. I ended up DNFing before the 50% mark. Benanti's narration was the only reason I kept going, but I couldn't stick it out.
I had no connection to the MC. I didn't want to be friends with her. I didn't want to root for her. I didn't want her to fail. I just felt blah about her. Sometimes, I got annoyed, but that wasn't enough to stick around and hope it would change into something else.
The other bummer was I like noir books. I like cat and mouse books. I love NYC and theatre. I also love Laura Benanti, so hearing her perform is an extra perk. But I couldn't get into this. I was bummed.
It gets an extra star because the narration was excellent but plotwise and characterwise, it was a mess for me.
