This book came onto my radar during to my book of the month predictions and stayed on my radar because it’s so hard to summarize. I feel like I read the summary seven times and still didn’t really understand what the book was about, so I was nervous that I might not understand the story. Luckily, that was not the case.

This is a wild ride of a story that follows Kembral, a recent mother who has yet to decide if she wants to come back to work. She’s at a party when things start to go sideways and she finds herself in an alternate world with only her enemy, notorious burglar, Rika to rely on. This had sort of an acid trip mixed with fantasy vibe that kept me interested. 

The audiobook of this was narrated well as well. I felt like the pacing was good and the acid trip fantasy vibe found its way into the narration too.

All in all, I enjoyed my time with this book. I see that it’s the first in a series, so I would consider reading the next one.
