I received an arc for the audio version and the narrator Kim Ramirez absolutely kills it. She has a rhythm that will draw you in and a way of magnifying the horror by saying it so calmly that the juxtaposition makes you even more unsettled.

Heres the thing, like otheres have mentioned there are animal povs in this book. I hate an animal pov but thought these were well written enough fir me not to mind EXCEPT there are do fucking many of them.

The parts of the book from Greta’s perspective are pretty enjoyable. She interesting, relatable and tragic but has so much potential. The problem is the interrupting povs make it hard to keep up with her story.

I think this would have been a much stronger book is it had been 1/3 shorter.

If you like a bit of a rambling yarn (think stephen king insomnia) love animals or westerns this might be more effective for you then it was for me.

I would pick up another book by this author if it was shorter and absolutely would pick up another audio book by the narrator
