"I am not afraid. I was born to do this."

This was a powerful and emotional story that I found myself being drawn into but only the historical sections; the more recent sections I didn't particularly think added that much to the story as a whole.

I listened to the audio book and whilst I think the narrator did a good job, I did find her interpretation of some of the French characters' voices was a bit jarring. I also found it odd that the main character of Laurence, who is French, spoke to other characters in a French accent however, her inner-dialogue was American.

Having said all that, I was captivated by Laurence's story and loved the way books played a pivotal and vital role in this book; this was unique for me and I really enjoyed it.

When a group of women get together for a going-away party, there is likely to be some drama or other but no one could predict what was going to happen at No 12.

"Everyone’s invited. Someone will never leave."

This was entertaining. I listened to the audiobook and thoroughly enjoyed it. The narrators did a great job of portraying each of the different characters; they drew me in and kept me there until the end.

The characters are an interesting bunch of people; not particularly likeable but interesting nonetheless. The plot is engaging with the requisite twists and turns which keeps you guessing and the pace is good.

Overall, an enjoyable listen and whilst I haven't read or listened to anything by this author before, I will certainly keep an eye out in the future.

Thank you to Bookouture Audio and NetGalley for my audio copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

I have finally read this book. Granted, I listened to the audio book while I was crafting, but it still counts! It was a pretty good read. Even though I hadn't read the book before I was familiar with the story because it has shown up a lot in other books I have read in the past few years. Yeah, it was basically what I expected it to be. Interesting, creepy, and just plain weird.

Podcast version of a Twitch show
The storytelling is top notch, but it's just the audio of the show, so you miss out on some stuff. If you like fantasy, great storytelling, and a top notch cast of voice actors, you can't go wrong with Critical Role. That said, I'd recommend watching some episodes on YouTube first, to get a feel for the visual stuff you'll be missing. 10/10 show, 8/10 podcast.

I absolutely love this app! I don't like that I have limited downloads, but I can download audio books, and stream all the music I want! It's an all in one app, and definitely something everyone should have on his/her phone. In order for it to be free, all you need is a library card. Which for some people could be difficult.
