pickThis is a soft pick for me. For such a short story I felt like it dragged a bit and was pretty predictable, which both might have been intended by the author as the main character seems blindly infatuated by a new love. The ending saved it for me as it was shocking even if predictable. Shortish read so worth the time if you‘re curious. 🌟🌟🌟

so-soI‘m not sure what I expected but another blackmail, discontent start to a long story about a continuation of killing others to save themselves… what did I just read and why did I waste my time … not every book is for you and this one is not for me I guess… I may pick it up in the future and see if I can get through it without throwing it across the room (I didn‘t really throw it but I wanted too)
I finished this one earlier today & while I don't really have the mental energy for the review it deserves, I loved it. Everything in the book was seamlessly working on both literal & metaphorical levels. This will undoubtedly be on my best of the year list. The audio is *chef's kiss* I just noticed that this is a '25 release. I'm hoping it gets the attention it deserves!
