dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No

As a palate cleanser I think it did it's job because I am feeling desperate to get back to some kind of fiction that isn't a thriller or horror.

It was very predictable and the characters were infuriating.

I wouldn't recommend this audiobook. The story is already flat (for me,) and the performance wasn't much better. 

Thank you to Libro.fm for the audiobook.
