uniquely thought provoking and unconventional - full of tension, gore and profoundly terrifying while tackling the topics of grief, racism, culture and a focused lens on our societies failures and horrors. all of this written alongside and within a murder mystery during the covid pandemic in the US and the rising violence against asians because of it. i can honestly say i have never read a book like this and probably never will again, this is a book that stands in a category all on its own. this one will linger on with me for quite awhile.

once you start this book i promise you will not be able to put it down. and the audio, oh the audio, it was magnificent. i adore @natalienaudus so much, her narration is always so immersive and i’ll listen to just about anything she does. bravo to her and @kylieleebaker on this absolute masterpiece. 

immense gratitude to mirabooks for this ALC.
