This was an okay listen. It’s basically about a rogue angel convincing the FMC friends to kill themselves based on the grief they’ve experienced. This listen was a roller coaster of interest to me. One minute I was on high alert waiting to see what happened next, the next minute I was super bored. The ghostly element was creepy though… so that’s a plus. I wanted that paranormal activity to make me feel something and that was achieved.

kylosten's review against another edition

sad tense medium-paced

This felt like the plot of a Life is Strange game (which is right up my alley) but the writing felt like it was a story written by someone who normally writes poetry.
I think I need to give this another shot as an eyeball read because it was hard for me to fully pay attention with the writing style being read on audio.
