At first the book was slow going and I couldn’t get into it like I have with other books. That is up until halfway through the first part of the book at least. It will hit you randomly and make you want to keep reading to find out what happens. Part two hits you with surprises, and then you’re left on a cliffhanger of sorts. Even with the cliffhanger ending, it was a book worth the read.

Why couldn't this story be original. I already know about Jeffrey Dahmer. Why did I need pages of information of his case when It has nothing to do with the story.

Listening Time: 6 Hours and 23 minutes

I had decided to finally give a listen to the butcher and the wren after being a long time listener of the Morbid Podcast. I must say, I really liked the story. I felt some parts were extremely repetitive (description of New Orleans etc) and it would take me out of the story because it would feel like I'm reading the same thing constantly.

I quite enjoyed the pacing of the storyline and how the Butcher's / Jeremy/Kal's timeline was different which had threw me for a loop I was not prepared for!

I am still confused on the Taro reading because for this book, there has yet been a moment of betrayal so maybe that'll be in the next books.
