Nightwatching by Tracy Sierra
4.0
dark mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character

Nightwatching
Thank you, PRH Audio, for the gifted audio of Nightwatching by Tracy Sierra

Genre: Mystery
Format: 📖
Audiobook Narration: ☆☆☆☆☆
Pub Date: 2.6.2024
Star Rating: ☆☆☆☆


Let me preface my review by saying that I don't do well with lots of internal dialogue from characters while reading. I need conversations or vivid descriptions to propel me forward and keep me invested. Most of Nightwatching is the thoughts of the MC, and it was a struggle for me. Not much happens until the story reaches the 40-50% mark and then takes off. Honestly, I would've DNF had it not been for one of my friends urging me to finish the book so we could talk about it.

The pacing did pick up in the second half, and I certainly see why so many people are raving about the book. The way it was written had me doubting what the MC was thinking and telling everyone had happened - how could that many people be doubting her? Was she losing her mind? Did it happen the way she remembered? It was a compulsive, twisty ending that had me completely floored at the author's ability to bring everything together. I'm so glad I finished the book, and what a wild ride it was.

😱 Audiobook narration (that voice)
🤯 Complex plot
📖 Multiple timelines
🌪️ Twisty
❗️ Poignant in today's climate


If you decide to read Nightwatching, I highly recommend the audiobook as the narrator is perfection and adds to the book's creep factor.
