Definitely try this one as an audiobook! There’s multiple narrators and since there’s a podcast in the story it’s super fun. Podcast episodes even have their own little intro song. Very well done. 

The story was okay. Not mind blowing or snuggling but it kept me listening. Not sure I’d that was just because of the good production though. 
I was not a fan of the ending.
Violet just reappears in the limbo dimension? I would have punched her so fast. Letting her family suffer with her disappearance like that? And the supposed magic powers other people have in the family? Okay???

I could just tell right away that if I kept reading it I would be in a book slump and I just got out of one.

3.5 stars: audiobook was well done; kept my interest, despite not being interested in magic at all; all characters were super flawed, but it worked; did not love the ending.
