Thanks to Macmillan Audio for the free copy of this book.
- I am so into the premise of NEEDY LITTLE THINGS. Sariyah’s ability to hear needs is something I don’t think I’ve ever come across before in a novel, and I loved how Desamours showed the good and bad sides of it.
- Sariyah’s friends and family were all fantastic characters as well. It was enough characters to make the world feel real without being too many people to keep track of.
- I do think it repeated a bit in the middle - one or two too many “let’s go over the suspects again” scenes - but the final confrontation had me on the edge of me seat.
