It’s too bleak, I know it’s a political statement but there’s no hope in this book.

Thank you, NetGalley!!
After finishing this book I had to reread the description to make sure I read it right. This book is so slow and if I wasn’t listening to the audiobook, I would have put it down, and never picked it back up again. The dog's death was so unnecessary. This book is marketed as twisty but it wasn’t it. I hate to rate a debut author so negatively but it was so slow and a little boring.

This audiobook is something. It felt cheesy, the weird sound effects and the singing took me out of the spookiness of the book. It would be this big build up then singing, and it just lost all it momentum. It also didn’t feel like a Shirley Jackson book it felt like a book that a college theater kid wrote after watching the tv show.
