    This was probably a case of the audiobook narrator not hitting quite right and knocking down the enjoyment. There were elements here I thought were very well done; moments of redemption, revenge, and hope that felt satisfying, with intrigue and stakes throughout. For some reason I never felt fully invested in the story, nor connected with the characters.

    4 stars for the first 50%, 2 stars for the last 50%

    This one SERIOUSLY dropped off - at first this was a well written unhinged female rage story, and I was sat. But things got increasingly unbelievable up through the final crescendo where the whole plot falls apart and what is meant to be a shocking twist actually is just some insane deus ex machina BS

    This had so much potential 😪 still an entertaining ride, but more of a Frida McFadden level of quality and depth overall
