panI was excited to listen to this based on its summary, but it was not at all what I was hoping for. There are an insane amount of chapters. There were so many times where I spent more time listening to the number of the chapter than the action within the chapter. I was also rather put off by the ending as well. It has nothing to do with what happened exactly, it just seemed too unrelated to the story in some ways, and was rather abrupt as well.
pickWith the everyday terrors of chronic pain, unhelpful doctors, sleepwalking, and sleazy exes giving way to something far more sinister…This chillingly paced horror will leave you unsettled indeed. I do wish the ending wasn‘t quite so obscure, but I think fans of The Last House on Needless Street will dig this one!
pickAn espresso martini suits this book bc phew. 😮💨 What a wild, unsettling little ride this was! I enjoyed this immensely. It was fast-paced, propelling you forward with so much momentum (and dread), purposefully leaving so much up to the reader‘s fearful imagination in such a capable way. Each chapter in this novella ratcheted up the tension — I truly flew this.
My thanks to Tor Publishing for this ARC.
pickSmoothly translated from Icelandic, this spooky novella makes for an absolutely compulsive listen! It opens with narrator Iounn waking up more and more exhausted each day. Taking advice from friends and family and consulting doctors, she‘s desperate for answers that would explain her sore muscles, bruises and what seems to be blood… Short chapters and mounting menace had me easily justifying walking just a little farther while listening!
“There is nothing in the world more tragic than an undeserved hangover.”
so-soThis novella has been out for a few years, but I just got an ARC of the audio and WOW that was a weird flight with this as the audio 😂😂
