˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗
This was definitely an interesting read, the narrator bringing an almost unserious aloof tone to the story telling that I really enjoyed.  Overall the book was dark, powerful, and had an almost haunted vibe to it.

I was really unsure how to rate this book.  It felt a lot like nonfiction so it felt a bit strange rating too low but overall it was a bit meh.  I did like how it felt like someone was telling their life story.  However, at times it was a bit confusing keeping up with some parts of it.  I might try a re-read later on to see if I like it any better but for now it was a neutral rating.

Thank you so much to PrideBookTours, the author and publisher for this copy
