A review by booktribe
I Am the Dark That Answers When You Call by Jamison Shea

Did not finish book. Stopped at 55%.
I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me was my absolute favorite book of 2023 and one of my favorite books of all time! But, I just can’t get into the sequel.

When I finished the first book, I felt that it didn’t need a sequel. It was perfect the way it was! But, I was still incredibly excited to read this! However, while the writing style itself is good, the book is so character driven that absolutely nothing is happening in the story. I made it over halfway into the book and nothing has happened except for continuous introspection from Laurence. Also, neither Niamh, nor Acheron, are translating well into characters. Acheron feels forced and Niamh is just lacking personality. 

I wanted to love this so bad, but I’m going to have to leave it alone and just think of I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me as a standalone.

Thank you Fierce Reads and NetGalley for this arc. All opinions are my own.
