This was a harrowing and amazing read. C.G. Drews is an incredible writer. I need to read everything they’ve ever written and everything they write next!
Michael Crouch’s narration of the audiobook was perfect. I’m a bit disappointed there wasn’t cool intro and outro music for the audiobook, but that’s obviously not Crouch’s job.
I was confused as to why the twins still had their Australian accents 100% of the time if they had been attending boarding school in the U.S. from age 11 to senior year. It’s in the text that they still have their accents, so again, that flaw wasn’t on Crouch.
I highly recommend this visceral, tense, and emotional story to fans of psychological horror!
