Great mystery writing

I was so into the story I marathoned it until the end! Great narration as well.

Interesting, to say the least…

Erica Anderson read Blythe’s parts perfectly, but she lost me multiple times with other characters, especially the male characters. I listen to a lot of books, but there were parts in this story that were difficult to get through based on the monotone make voices that droned on and on.

Story was unique, but characters are young and self-obsessed, it must work for the YA audience. Started off with a bang; I didn’t love the characters. I do love this author. Check out her other series, The Casey Duncan series, narrated by Therese Plummer. Absolute excellence!

Immediately interesting story!

This was a very enjoyable audio book. Full disclosure I have been a big fan of everything from Kelly Armstrong that I've consumed. This story was no let down! I love the way she creates hidden worlds within the real world, it is the exact type of fantasy that I crave from a book! On Instagram I believe she posted that this is a stand alone novel which is sort of disappointing because I really liked the story and wanted it to continue. On the other hand, it wraps up pretty nicely so that I won't spend the next three years wondering what the characters are up to, so if there ever were a sequel it would just be a nice surprise!
I would recommend this to anyone who is fascinated by mysteries and mental health complications. As someone who has experienced some struggles here and there, and as the sibling of someone with severe mental health battles, I appreciated the subtleties and respectful nature of the way the characters were presented.

Absolutely amazing!

This book completely captivated me. I could see everything play out in my head while listening to it. So many twists and turns, trying to figure out what is true and what isn't, who could be trusted, who will betray. A must read!

Not what you’d expect

I’ve read almost all of Kelley Armstrong’s books. This one is no where near as good as her normal work. The characters are all whining and it drags on.
