If I could give an example of my favorite kind of story, this would be it, aside from the ending.

I was sucked into this audio from the first chapter. The writing and narration were both incredible. I finish the audio in less than 24 hours. I could not stop listening.

I love how we got a point of view from all of the character. All of the characters were written perfectly. There isn't a single thing I would change about any of the characters.

I wanted to smack Shane more than once a long the way but I still loved everything about his character. He was super stubborn that's for sure. The love between him and Laney was absolutely amazing. You could feel it from the first second. They are literal soul mates. They need each other to be the best that they can be.

I was definitely shocked at the murder part of the story. I can not believe that Cary did what he did for Laney. I hated him through out the entire story until that point.

NOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW let's talk about the only thing I did not like.......... THE ENDING!!!!!! Come on Alex!!!! JK it just makes me want the next one even more!!!

Thank you NetGalley and Victor Editting for a copy of this ARC(:

This book. *exhales* This book. *shakes head*

I didn’t know what to expect going in, but it wasn’t that. What does it feel like to read this book? Imagine your heart being carved out of your chest, thrown onto the ground and then beat repeatedly with a metal shovel. Then it’s pieced back together, only to be ripped apart again. Rinse and repeat.

The writing style took a bit to get used to - it’s in third person (which I don’t mind), but it was from at least a dozen different POV’s, along with news articles. It was extremely effective in telling the story.

Overall - this was impressive for a debut novel, and I love discovering more Canadian authors!
