Munro is the latest installment in the "IAD" series and I had been really excited to pick this one up and decided to do this one in audiobook. I had heard the narration was really wonderful so I took a risk on this one and even though this is a solid read, this book didn't quite work for me. There were some factors within the story that I had a more challenging time working with.
Munro has many elements that will work for fans of the series but to be honest I am kind of exhausted with these type of heroines that are so prickly and unrelatable and always trying to kill their men *covers face* I know this will really win over some readers but I feel like many of the heroines in this series all feel the same to me. And it's also possible the narrator just ruined the book for me since I just couldn't get behind the heroine at all. She just was so rough around the edges and so hard and not very likeable for me. There were also some plot holes in the story that I didn't expect to bother me but rubbed me the wrong way. I loved finally getting to know Munro's book but it also felt like something was missing here. There are aspects of time travel in this one which was a bit confusing in how it developed the plotline. There is some wonderful aspects of action and thrilling moments that will keep you on edge of course. This author has always been able to build intensity throughout her books. So I really appreciated some aspects of how the world building and atmospheric vibes were developed throughout the story.
But overall, while this book was a solid read, it didn't quite work for me all of the way through and would have appreciated the heroine being better developed.
