This is a Horror with super natural (Mind Reading), and this is an interactive book. I enjoyed choosing different paths on the kindle edition, and I also listening to the whole book by going to the chapter they said to listening through. The narrator was really go, and I really enjoyed it. I think it will be hard to pick where to go because I normally listen to audiobooks while driving. So, I am happy there is away to just listen to the book straight through. I did not think it was super scary. The book made me want to keep reading. The ending was so good. I do think there was not a lot of character development, but I do not think that hurt the book. This book is plot driven not character driven. I won a kindle edition of this book from a goodreads giveaway. I was kindly provided an e-audiobook of this book by the publisher (Vincere Press) or author (Mark Tullius and Dawna Gonzales) via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review about how I feel about this book, and I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Well I wouldn’t have made it (several times.) I died a few interesting deaths during this listen. Try Not to Die in Brightside was unlike anything else I have ever listened to.

Try Not to Die in Brightside was an interactive choose your own adventure audiobook! After the chapter, you were generally given 2-3 prompts to choose from. What I enjoyed about this format is that if you died, it would give you the other options to choose from and where to find them. That way you could continue on instead of starting all over again. I know the few choose your own adventure books I have done just say you die, and you have to start from the beginning. So that little feature was super appreciated. If you wanted a safe passage through the entire story you could choose the survivor mode, which lets you listen to the entire story straight through without dying.

This was such a fun audiobook. I really hope there are more to come. This is a little gore at times so listeners beware.

I received an advanced audiobook copy from Independent Book Publishers Association through NetGalley. All opinions are 100% my own.
