Escaping from Houdini by Kerri Maniscalco

dark

medium-paced
3.5
okay, so I had to dnf'd this for a while, picked it up again after a few weeks but this time I listened through its audiobook, stopped again π
, then finished it by reading its book.
The process I had to go through just to finish this book β wew.
The early parts, in my opinion, are a bit dragging. There are also instances where I kinda hate Audrey Rose for acting on her own and leaving her partner. (Hence, the reason why I had to dnf it for a while because I don't want to completely ruin this series for me). But the latter part of the story, I think, is actually better. I was able to appreciate Audrey Rose's dilemma over Thomas and Mephistopheles more, solving the murder mysteries started getting more exciting. Let's just say I came back to this book with a better perspective. π
Overall rating: 3.5 β

I've thought about the best word to describe this book for a long time and I only came up with this:
It was a decent read.
I don't know if this was because of my reading slump or maybe the miscommunication/lack of communication trope but I didn't enjoyed it that much and I feel like the hype that this book has actually betrayed me. π
I didn't experience the craze that everyone seems to experience after reading this book nor the "chokehold" they said I'll be in. There's no mindblowing chapter or part for me. It was okay, it was decent.
In fact , Nico and Elena's story will end sooner rather than later if they only talked to each other, something that will make me dnf this as soon as I realize it but I guess I only walked through 52 chapters of their story because someone already warned me way before I started reading this so I'm already prepared.
However, I like the built up sexual tension between the characters on the early parts of the book but it is not something that will make want to read this again .

I'm in that state of mind where I was so drained because of all the crying and pain I've endured while reading this but I've never been happier. It doesn't makes sense, I know, but it is what it is.
This is the type book that I refuse to hear any criticism about. If you hate a part of this book, you probably have a point β or you don't, but I still don't care because in my mind, this is one of the best books I've ever read and I refuse to change it by reading other people's criticism about it.
This is Kenna Rowan's pain, her journey to self forgiveness, and I'm completely in love with her story.
