I really enjoyed reading this book.
Maybe a tad too many twists, but overall a very entertaining read.

This was a fun listen! I really liked the beginning of the story, the premise was so interesting it had me instantly hooked. I'm one of the few people that enjoyed the dogs narrations in this story. It made the MC not seem so alone. I will say towards the middle of the books I was slightly confused with the male narrator. I think that was the point, for us to be unsure of who's thoughts we were reading but I had to reread a few sections to see if I just missed something. Now, the last 70% of the book was great! I had several theories but was so shocked about a particular character. I also enjoyed the unraveling of our MC's experiences and seeing her "past life". I give this book a high 3 stars!

This was SO GOOD! 4.5 ⭐️
Finally, a book right up my alley.
I had such a fun time reading this one, flicking through the pages so fast. It was fast-paced, wildly chaotic, and at times somewhat predictable, yet it really worked for the story.

A few plotholes here and there, but nothing that bothered my reading experience, and I found the characters to be well-written as well. (So tired of unlikeable characters!)

THE DOG IS FINE. Lest anyone dnf for fear. No promises on any of the people.

This was so much more than the suspenseful, slasher-y book I thought I was getting into (though it was that too.) A master class on how to end a story, with plenty of twists to keep you guessing.
