Stolen Tongues by Felix Blackwell

3.0

---

Sooooo I'm so annoyingly frustrated at this book lol. It started so well the pacing was great I enjoyed our main characters narrative voice and the audio book narrator was good too. The first 3 parts of this book were great kept my interest and had me intrigued with the story. We're following this married couple who are on a getaway at a cabin when the wife starts to hear strange whispers and starts seeing things. Soon the husband starts to see and hear things as well and the story evolves from there trying to discover who or what may be lurking about and why. It's horror more suspense paranormal horror with some native American lore explored as well. Again it had such promise but when I tell u that ending sputtered on in with a severely underwhelming stop. Like if I had balls they'd be blue. And while I appreciate the authors note as he recounts his reasonings for some plot and character choices and divulges his background and research he did to craft this story it was not enough to make me love this. It's a 2.5 but ill round to 3.
