The first 50 pages were really strong, but the lack of worldbuilding or character development made it fall flat for me. Very glad we DNF at about 50%.

Kelley Armstrong is one of my favorite authors, but I couldn't stomach reading this book anymore. I realize it's horror, but the descriptions of body gore were too much for me to listen to. I kept hoping it would be minimal but I can't listen to (view spoiler)[ bones popping out of limbs and jawbones hanging off. (hide spoiler)]
That and small nitpicky thing that did take me out of the story, the audiobook narrator who did this book also narrates the Finlay Donovan series and does the same exact voices so I honestly was getting confused (not the fault of the author, just a weird rando "me" problem). ...more

I previously did audiobook format for the first two books and really enjoyed them and did hard copy this time so I may go back and try again on audio. But this was dragging, 200 pages in and nothing was happening.
I definitely will still go on to read The Emma Project but will be doing that one on audio. ...more

Full disclosure, I listened to about 60% of the audiobook, heard something I didn’t like, googled spoilers, and promptly dnf’d this book. B 1.5 stars
Full disclosure, I listened to about 60% of the audiobook, heard something I didn’t like, googled spoilers, and promptly dnf’d this book. But, I feel I invested enough time to give it a rating. I loved the Winner’s Circle trilogy by Rutkowski so I was excited when she wrote this adult thriller. I had no idea she worked as a stripper before and her knowledge of the industry really showed in this book, those parts were very interesting. Where she lost me is a personal preference, I hate when characters are developed just for them to die very shortly afterwards. That and the multiple POVs just really bugged me. This was one of my biggest letdown books because I was really excited to read it....more
