Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

It was stated that you do not have to listen to the podcast Rabbits to read this book. As such, I went in blind. The pacing was inconsistent. Things would start to rev up in the plot, and I would be excited to keep reading. However, the plot would then fall flat again. This was disappointing and almost led to a 90% in DNF.

The story follows a consistent formula of, K and Chloe find a clue, they then look for the next clue. K loses reality or time or both, and somehow finds said next clue. Chloe asks K if he is ok. Rinse and repeat for 400+ pages and you have the book.

There is no real character development to speak of here. K and Chloe feel flat personality-wise. This story genuinely had the means to be amazing. The execution, however, stifled all of those chances.

Full review will be posted on my blog on June 18th, 2021
