The Telling by Alexandra Sirowy
2.0
1.5 stars
I was really entertained and enjoying the story at the beginning and then it just became so boring. It dragged and it took me so long to read it. There was no balance between prose and dialogue. And I couldn't grasp the timeline until 200 pages in. Also, the scene changes were convoluted. I hated all the "Ben this...Ben that". Ugh! There are a lot of things I can stand but unfortunately isn't one of them. The gruesome murders and the mystery of the killer is what kept me from dnf-ing this. I liked the characters, and I liked getting to know the friend group. Hated Ben.
I'm really disappointed because I was really hoping to like this book. I will give this author another chance as I liked the writing.
