The Sleepless by Jen Williams

3.0

Thank you to Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for the ALC. All opinions are my own

Twisty, turny, and a different take on a love triangle 

The premise of the book is very interesting and is what reeled me in. A guardian of a monster forest and a cursed man who shares his body with an evil spirit?!! Uhh yes please! 

Unfortunately, I didn’t fall in love with the story or the characters the way I had hoped,  and at times I struggled to stay engaged 😣. There were parts that definitely grabbed my attention though. Elver and Lucian had an interesting dynamic, and Artair’s regard for Lucian was definitely on brand for someone in his situation. I mean imagine going to sleep only for someone else to take over. Someone who you’re to make sure never gets out 😬

I think the narrator’s did a good job, it’s just the story didn’t connect with me

If you like YA books with a twisty storyline, quests, Gods, and monsters, you may enjoy the The Sleepless
