I was so thrilled when my sister-in-law sent me π»π―π¬ πΉπ¨π©π©π°π» πͺπ³πΌπ© ππ πͺππππππππππ π±. πππππ, from @hanoversquarepress & out July 8th. I was then thrilled to receive the #gifted audio from @htpbooks_audio via @netgalley and the combination was divine with Jeremy Arthur, Will Watt, & Imogen Church narrating.
This is a dark academia, gothic suspense told in such a teasing method that had me trying to put it together to no avail.
Ali McCain is off to Oxford to study English Literature, and also hopes to meet his father, a British Rock star who abandoned him as a tot. He uses this "clout" to gain a spot in the secret society, the Saracens, despite the warnings of his new friends.
Despite where I thought I saw this one going, I was hooked in the atmosphere and waiting with bated breath for what would surely be a different direction. I was rewarded with this patience as the tale went down a dark and twisted path. I love that rug pulled moment.
The characters were well formed by this disorienting point, and I lost all sense of where it would land. This is one of the best feelings I've had reading a suspense, and how it all did come together was brilliant and unique. The final page left me a bit breathless as it was satisfyingly loose. The references to Brides Head Revisited, King Lear, and Alice in Wonderland were a mix of fever dream deliciousness.
I love audio, as you may well know, but I must say I needed the print to keep up. There were some interesting perspectives telling the story and it helped to keep track, though I loved the voices!
I definitely recommend this excellent addition to the genre to fans who can allow the author to peel the layers in their own time and ways. I loved it.
