Unreliable narrator... You bet!

Revisado: 10-31-19

Unreliable narrator... You bet! The entire time reading this book, I kept wondering is he in a psychotic break and it is all in his head and his friends are sucked into his messed up world wanting to grab a hold of anything that would give them an outlet for their violence. But I've gotten ahead of myself... back to the beginning

When I first started I found I liked the main character.... and I wanted there to be another book. So much so that I asked my husband if the start of the book as the real ending. I was disappointed... however once I got into it, I found Lucian is completely wackadoodle. While I hate bullies, I still found myself shouting at the main characters when they did something absolutely dumb or outrageous.

The book is good. It kept my attention the whole time. I really like the voice actor for this book. He has good range and brings the characters to life. While I found I wanted to like the main character as the book went on I found I was ok with how the book was going to end. I was so upset at poor Maxwell, a cinnamon roll that needed to be protected.

I especially liked the demon mentioning "Erich Zann" one of my favorite HP Lovecraft stories.

The books ending is perfect for the characters and I really enjoyed watching their fall into madness.

Bechdel test: Passed - only barely - Minor characters Violet and April talking to each other.

Should have been read by a woman

I don’t understand when choices like this are made. However, It was a good story and creepy too.

Great characters and story!

Revisado: 10-05-18

Great book! I enjoyed every moment. I really enjoyed think of this book as a D&D campaign. I liked to imagery and world building. I want to know more. The Twin Moon Goddess intrigued me. When I talked with a friend that was also reading it, I at first thought I was going to give it a C+ but when I got home and spoke with my husband who had already read it. I got really passionate talking about some of the character. Which will upped my grade to a solid B or a 4 star rating on here.

The only negatives: Fight scenes seemed a little lacking. And at the end the main character seemed to dismiss things that I (as a reader) feel he should want to know.

I listened to this book on Audible. The voice actor was amazing. Tons of different voices from creepy to soothing. Even the female voices were convincing enough. Great stuff. Very impressive.

I loved all the characters. I wonder who the next book will center around.

Bechdel test: Passed!

This book is so good. I didn't want it to end. I love all the characters, they are very well written. Along with strong female characters that don't fall back on common tropes. Bechdel test: Passed

What a great voice actor!!

Revisado: 09-08-17

I enjoyed the book a lot. I will look for more stuff that he has read for sure. The story was good and entertaining. Not as scary as I had been led to believe but still quite enjoyable.

Strange mystery!

Revisado: 03-10-17

Good book. I really enjoyed the story and the narration is great! I could listen to him read the encyclopedia! I recommend to others looking for a short murder mystery.

I went in expecting a scary ghost story and ended up with a ghost story that makes you think. Good stuff. Can't say why for fear of spoilers! :)

Alma is one of the best!

Book was great! The voice acting by Alma Cuervo is just the best I've heard! I hope there are more books soon.
