ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review

I liked the premise of this book, and picked it because of he cute cover - what books isn't better with a dog or two?

I liked the story for the most part, however the pacing felt off, all over the place. Yes we spend a lot of time with background which takes longer, but then it drags, then raced to the reveal and the conclusion so fast my head was spinning.

And here is my bone to pick - the dogs have names, use them. To me it felt pretentious that every second time one of the main dogs, Harlow or Noodle were mentioned, we didn't get their name, we got their breed. Ugh. It was like we were reading a kennel club booklet. It might not bother anyone else, but it irritated me.

I liked the story enough that I would read more by this author or series if it were to happen.
