Thank you, Macmillan Audio, for the gifted copy of House of Glass {partner} 

 

 

Oh, y'all, I wanted to love this book, but it was not easy to get through. Between the over-the-top plot, unlikeable characters, and over-dramatized moments, I was afraid my eyes would get stuck from all the eye-rolling that I did. It was not necessarily the author's writing but the story itself that bothered me so much. Too many things were at play, ultimately making it difficult to follow along. 

 

But because I can't leave an entirely negative review, I will say that there were aspects of the story that I enjoyed, and while I did guess the ending fairly quickly, it was interesting to see the path that the author took us to get there. 

 

House of Glass was narrated by Laura Benanti (who has also narrated one of my favorites, Drowning by TJ Newman). Benanti did a great job of keeping the story moving forward and adding just the right air of mystery to keep me listening. 

 

Read if you enjoy: 

Slow burn mysteries 

Menacing atmospheres 

Unlikable characters 

 

I recommend reading Gone Tonight if you're looking for a book by Sara Pekkanen to read!
