The Devil Makes Three by Tori Bovalino
3.0
3.5/5
I was super interested in this book premise, unfortunately it did't hit as well with me as I would have liked. First off I listened to this one on audio, thanks to the publisher, and while it was well recorded, I had a hard time enjoying it because the male narrator was much older than the female. As this is a "highschool" aged book, it just didn't sit well with me when he would talk about wanting to touch the girl, it came off more creepy in a bad way than being romantic sounding. It may be perfectly fine while physically reading, but in my experience with it, it was a miss. The pacing was also an issue for me, it seemed to drag out parts that could have been shortened and didn't contain as much action as I would have hoped for, for a horror genre type book. It may be fine for a Young Reader, but for me it just wasn't quite what I was hoping for after reading the premise.
Thank you to Netgally and RB Media for a copy of this title in exchange for an honest reviw
