tifftastic87 's review for:
Indian Burial Ground
by Nick Medina
DID NOT FINISH: 19%
DNF at 20%, I may have gotten a little farther but forgot to log before I returned the audiobook.
I may have liked this one better physically, the narration for Louie was difficult for me to enjoy based on the pacing. Farmer chose to be really monotone and very slow. I had to speed him up to 2.75 just to be able feel like the sentence didn't have random periods between each word. I listened to some previews of other works of his and didn't have this problem, maybe it was just an off couple of days for him here.
The plot was pretty slow, there were two storylines. One in current day following Noemi's boyfriend being suspected of dying by suicide and Noemi refusing to believe it because he was so happy and they had so many plans. The conversation around this seemed to be doing something interesting but I didn't really like Noemi herself much. Louie, Noemi's uncle, was used for the perspective of an event that happened years ago and was potentially supernatural in nature. I have no doubt these two things will eventually connect, but it was doing that thing I hate where someone knows something that will help but they just refuse to share.
I may pick this up physically later, but for now it is not working as an audio book.
