All Those Broken Angels by Peter Adam Salomon
3.0
I'll admit, I didn't really read the blurb or know what this was about, just glanced enough to gather "missing girl/ghost" and figured it would be up my alley. So going into this, I, like Richard, assumed that when his little friend Melanie went missing, and then a "presence" showed up in his life shortly after, that Melanie was dead, and this was her ghost. That IS an interesting premise.
If I had read the blurb, I would have realized there was much more to the story than that.
I listened to the audio edition of this book (I received it for free in exchange for an honest review). Often these "AudiobookBoom" books also have the text available in KindleUnlimited, and I like to have that option. To quickly look over things I've listened to. This was NOT part of KU, and I really would have liked to be able to read over some of the stuff, as I was getting quite confused here and there as the story jumped around. I often wonder if things are sometimes presented a little more clearly in print. If there are italics, or ***** to separate when the scene shifts from one POV to another. Things that may be harder to pick up on in audio.
I'm all for suspension of disbelief ... this is a "ghost" story after all. But this all seemed just a bit convoluted and complex. Too many coincidences.
