Listenable, but not particularly enjoyable or relatable. I didn't care for any of the characters. Writing is fine but I wasn't a fan. Plot felt forced. I was super interested for the first half, which kept promising action, but then so little would actually happen! The second half made me drowsy. There was this thing veneer of magic on the outskirts, but it didn't really pull into the story, and overall felt a bit lackluster.
Graphic: Rape and Child death
Moderate: Grief, Stalking, and Medical trauma
Minor: Car accident
