I had no idea what to expect from this book, but I was a little underwhelmed. I didn't love it, but I didn't;t hate it either. It just didn't excite me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was an ok read. I enjoyed Lloyd’s novel, “The Memory Wood,” more, but this was an interesting story. Mercy is traumatized by a past event that causes her to avoid the daytime. By night, she watches the people in her community, gives them names and tries to improve their situations. Once she meets Louis, her world turns upside down as he escalates Mercy’s intentions from simply watching, to acting.

I enjoyed Mercy as a character, but overall the story didn’t really translate for me. There were some strong moments, however, it all wrapped up too quickly for me.

I enjoyed the Memory Wood I think Sam Lloyd does great with slow burn thrillers, but I just found this one to be a little too slow for me to fully get into. I had to DNF.
