This was entertaining all the way through. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator for Macy did sound very annoyed for the first half of the book, but it got better once things picked up. The David chapters were great. Very creepy spooky pacific northwest setting which was fun.
I do think the We Used to Live Here worked better for me. I felt that here there was not as much lore/detail regarding the WHY/HOW and I love to speculate on nuggets of lore.
I think that the suicide and greif themes were handled very well. Overall I feel that this was an inventive and unique thriller/horror. I definitely will pick up any book this author writes!

Check the book you’re reading right now. If you were transported there for 24 hours, are you having a lovely spring vacation or are you absolutely doomed?
I'm reading Papyrus, so I’ve been dropped right into Alexander the Great’s path through Thebes. If being 'absolutely doomed' counts as a vacation, then I’m having a blast. 🙄 My current survival strategy is to find a reed pen, and pray my handwriting is good enough to earn me 'Scribe' status instead of 'Casualty' status. But, honestly, I give myself maybe only a 10% survival chance. And that’s being generous.

Hello fellow Boundlings, How are you today?
I've woken up (like every Monday) with an impending sense of dread about the work week ahead. But it's not fair: I already give Capitalism a lot of my time and energy, I refuse to give it also my emotional wellbeing.
Therefore, I've decided to treat this day as an adventure. The main quest will be to be present and kind.
What will your main quest for today be? Can you give me ideas for side quests to add a little joy and whimsy to this day?

Happy Friday, fellow fiction fans!
Drop the first line or two of the book you're currently reading, and let fellow Boundlings try to guess the title and author. If no one gets it by the end of the day, come back and reveal the answer!
A few friendly guidelines: • Keep it to the first line or two only (no spoilers!) • Don’t include the title or author right away • Feel free to add a hint later if people get stuck

The audiobook narrator does amazing voices and is great, but the plot can be hard to follow so I would have preffered to read a physical copy so I could easily go back and reference things.
Overall very entertaining and I will definitely continue the series.
