Thank you @prhaudio for the early ALC!

This hurts to write this!!!!!! 

Adrienne Young is one of my favorite authors and an auto buy author for me, but this will be my last adult book of hers that I will read. 

I haven’t really enjoyed her adult books so far but I keep giving them a chance in hopes that her beautiful writing will come out and while I see glimpses of her beautiful prose, the story is just BORING. A mystery novel should have turns and twists and keep you on the edge of your seat, but I could not care less about this story or these people. 

I will absolutely read the next YA fantasy book she writes but these adult books are giving boring white lady mystery books, with no actual substance in them!!! I just am so sad, I want to love her transition to adult books but it’s just not working for me. 

Audiobook rating: 5/5 narration is wonderful, it flows really well. The problem here is the book.
