Audiobook, read by Gemma Amor. Amor has a beautiful voice. I could listen to her all day.
I hesitate to say I "liked" this story, because that's not the right sentiment, or that I enjoyed it, but it is amazing. Piper does beautiful and heartbreaking horror (I've said this about her a few times) and is an expert at pacing. An hour and a half seems too paltry to fit a complete and satisfying story, but if it was longer, it would not work as the full narrative that it is. Any more pages (or minutes) would be cheapening this story.

Good read, wasn't creepy or anything but it was fun. My only real complaint is the cover gives away the surprise. I still wasn't actually sure if she was going to be possessed by an actual lion though. .
