I liked it a bit more this time as I took it slower whereas before I blasted through on audio. Still not a favourite but I liked the chilling tension!
*original 2019 review*
Somehow this was a bit disappointing for me. The action took too long to build and by the time it was finally there, it was a little too late. And I felt that there wasn't enough character back story or character development, many felt a bit flat and could have been so much more vivid. I love the idea behind this and I'd read another by this author, but this wasn't a favourite.
