I didn't care for this book very much. However, I think it had more to do with the audio version than the actual book. The narrator yelled a lot. She raised her angry voice and sped up her reading when something was "happening." Drove me nuts! There was also many repeats of phrases. I don't think that was purposeful, though. Nonetheless, it was annoying. As for the storyline . . . eh . . . that didn't grip me much either and there was lots of foul language. Not a pleasant listen in the least. Don't think I'll be continuing with this series. :(
Thoughts of Joy
My thanks go to Soho Press and NetGalley for providing me with the eGalley.
I was listening to an audio book this week that I had to stop and will continue the book in print. The narrator did everything but the voices in an American accent, but the voices were with a supposed Danish accent. Drove me batty. Am liking the book - not so much the audio.
