Ok. I hate doing this, I hate 2 star reviews, and I’d usually rather not post them, but something absolutely didn’t work here, and before I continue I’m in a very clear minority on my views about this title.

The premise was interesting from the blurb. Unfortunately I couldn’t connect with the characters at all, I couldn’t find anything about them to hold my interest me or to make me feel invested in the story.

I can’t straight out blame the narrator, but I just didn’t gel with the voice either, it felt monotone, robotic and a bit clunky, and the same sentences seemed to be used over and over again. I wonder was it a bad fit for the book, or was the writing the issue, it’s oftentimes hard to tell when you’re not enjoying the narration.

Perhaps reading a hard copy would be a better fit?

I do apologise, I hate awful reviews that seem harsh, but I appreciate the opportunity to listen to this title from Bookouture Audio and NetGalley and hope it doesn’t put others off, but equally I felt I had to review honestly.

Super quick listen . Predictable and repetitive in spots but a page turner with a satisfyingly twisty ending. Getting ready to read the next in the series now. I will read/ listen to more of this author.

Excellent narrator . I really enjoyed this audiobook
