I had already read this book and loved it. I knew I had to listen to the audio book because Irish accents are my weakness. The only thing I didn't love about the audio book was in some instances the narrator voicing Sloane felt more whiney than I had originally pictured the character. But who knows, that was just my interpretation of the book, maybe the author directed her on how she thought Sloane should sound. It was a small thing that didn't take away from my enjoyment of the book. I am mad that the bonus chapter is not included, I was so looking forward to hearing

the dragon onesie

scene brought to life.

This was freaking incredible. I had been waiting for it to become available as audio through my library, but my friend Leanne gifted it to me on audible and I devoured it in two sittings.

I just, I just can’t explain how much I enjoyed this book. Wow, wow, wow.

Honestly pretty fun.  There were some things I wasn't a huge fan of but it was silly and campy in a good way, amidst all the blood and gore.
