Good til almost the end

Revisado: 07-25-24

This story was so good and creepy and really kept me hooked until just about the end, like the last few chapters. I was worried I wouldn’t like the audiobook because of the little girl voice, but actually it added to the creepiness! I loved that the descriptions of the entity were never clear enough as to fully picture it.
Starting in the chapter where they took Bella to the beach to “reveal their past” and “take her innocence” the whole thing goes straight downhill. It’s overly dramatic and super drawn out for no reason. I skipped over huge sections because I was just completely over listening to it. I thought once that “big reveal” (that wasn’t really that big) was over, it would get better again. Nope. The over-the-top drama continues into Bella and even Grandma. Again to the point that I was skipping ahead to get past it. The very very end probably would’ve been good, eerie, and impactful, but the lead up to it was so obnoxious and then the end just kind of came out of nowhere.
I’m disappointed because this story was SO GOOD and the last couple chapters just ruined it.

Great performances really brought the story to life!

This author is dangerously good at writing scenes to make someone’s skin crawl. The purity check scene(s) had me ALL THE WAY terrified. I was listening and I actually stopped what I was doing and just 😳
It was so good and the narrators were phenomenal, especially Grace. I’m so interested to see where Dalia goes from here. And when there started being hints that The Wild was basically a zoo surrounded by a more advanced society, I was so intrigued. I feel like the first hints at it were subtle enough that they just made me stop and think “wait a sec… what did they just say? Lemme rewind that real quick… what in the hell does he mean by THAT?” 🤣
I can see why the author has a good following and it’s only going to grow because these are the kinds of stories people (read: laaaadiessss!) love!

This book was so much fun to read! I normally don’t have the attention span for anything except thrillers, but this book kept my attention the whole time! Great author and great characters!

Absolute rollercoaster from start to finish!

Wow. This book put me through the whole range of emotions! Not one chapter goes by where you don’t take another huge turn. You’ll hate characters then love them, then back again. I haven’t been this enthralled by a book in so long!
