so so good

A nice refreshing change to the normal domestic thriller! A very unique story line, the characters were maybe not so developed but it doesnt take away from the story line. Definitely recommend it!!

Different in a good way.

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. A story line I haven’t encountered before and truly intoxicating. I didn’t see the twist coming and felt satisfied with the ending. If you are looking for something different, this is it!

GREAT

Such a great book!! Suspenseful throughout the entire book! I listened to it one day!

Good book,

I enjoyed this one. The premise was very good and could have been a really good book with maybe more character development or more exciting details to get your blood pumping. Not a bad book anyway.

Scary, Creepy, & A Bit Blasse

Overall it was a good book. The few quirks I had with it was that they used the women's voice to be a man's voice. Is it difficult to find a man to read audio books? The whole story revolved around living in a smart home. I certainly wouldn't have one if it were free; and I mean it. I was just hoping for a bigger ending of the smart home than the one that was given.
