This was an interesting blend of a “detective” story and horror. While the detective in question is a scientific consultant for the police and not officially a detective, the vibes were the same. The horror aspect was there but not over the top to where it would turn off non-horror readers.
The way this book unfolded was perfect. I really enjoyed the pacing and the storyline was solid. In the beginning it felt like it wasn’t cohesive, but once it got going everything clicked into place.
I was granted access to the audiobook through NetGalley and dual narrators for the dual POV was great. I’m not sure I could have kept up with it otherwise since each POV got half of a chapter and it wasn’t always consistent with who started the chapter. The sound effects and transition music were also a nice touch.
