I originally started reading a physical copy of this book sometime last year but I was only able to get through to chapter two, I believe. Personally, I wasn’t able to get into it because I grew up reading/writing Creepypasta fanfiction and the concept was super similar to what I’d read. Thus I associated the two and I couldn’t finish.
In late November, I started to get into audiobooks and by mid-December, I was looking for my third audiobook to listen to. My sister owned the audible for this book and let me listen to it. It took me a moment to get used to the voice actors (nothing against them, it was the same for the previous audiobooks I listened to and my current one as well).
I finished the audiobook today and my opinion on the book drastically changed. I highly enjoyed listening to it and the plot drew me in. I even was asking my sister if she owned the second book “Leather and Lark,” which is now on my TBR list (including the next book too).
Overall, I found the audiobook more enjoyable for me to get into the book. I was struggling to imagine the story in my head as I read (something I usually do); having the voice actors narrate the book allowed me to submerse myself into the story easier.
I highly recommend this book, especially for anyone who also read/wrote creepypasta fanfiction growing up.
