4.0

This novella is a quick read, and I flew through it. Part of that is because of the short page count, but it’s also thanks to the author’s engaging writing and excellent pacing. It’s essentially a stripped down domestic horror/thriller with two characters and strong Misery vibes. I kind of knew where it was going, but that didn’t take away from the enjoyment of the ride, and there where still a few moments that elicited genuine gasps of surprise. The two characters are very well written, and even though the plot grows more outrageous as the story goes on it still feels very believable.

Overall this is a short, disturbing, and tense novella that I absolutely recommend!! Thanks to the author for sending a copy in exchange for an honest review
