It Ends at Midnight was an average thriller with below-average characters. The main characters Sylvie and Tess are both extremely unlikeable. They both are going through something extremely personal and stressful and I had a hard time sympathizing with them since they seemed like such awful people.

The plot is all over the place. It goes between the present day and back to when Sylvie and Tess were younger. When they were younger they made some poor decisions that lead to a friend going to jail. That moment should have haunted them for life but they seemed to have no remorse or issue putting it out of sight until they can’t anymore.

By the time the book ended I found it to be a predictable ending. The best thing about this book was it’s a fast read. Unfortunately, I find it hard to recommend this book.

Final Score 2/5

Wow, this psychological thriller was a fast paced whirlwind of a book! It Ends At Midnight is full of secrets, lies, and toxic relationships. You are not sure which characters to believe or what they are hiding. I listened to this audiobook in one day! I highly recommended checking out the audiobook when it comes out.

Thank you @highbridgeaudio @recordedbooks and @netgalley for allowing me to listen to this audiobook ahead of publication in exchange for my honest review.

Easily a 4 star, satisfying way to spend the day. Netgalley sent me It Ends at Midnight around 9 am this morning, and here I am at, lol almost midnight on the same day, and I'm done and writing the review. This was a compelling listen. I did not stop all day, and have a cleaner house thanks to the audiobook.

Dual timelines, young kids who make mistakes who then grow up to be adults who make mistakes. I thought I had it all figured out, but, alas, Harriet Tyce fooled me and although I had snippets, I was still pleasantly surprised by the end.

The narration flowed and did not get in the way of the characters - perfect.

I'm now going to get Tyce's previous novel which I understand is phenomenal. That's the highest praise a reader can give.

Thank you to Highbridge Audio for allowing me to listen in advance of the 2/21/23 release date.
