Y'all didn't tell me this would make me feel this way I'm mad

Read full review here. (7/22/2020)

Alex North has brought back the terrifying energy of the Whisper Man in his new book, The Shadows. Twenty-five years ago, a case shook the small village of Gritten, and Paul and his friends were never the same.

North's ability to make you distrust almost everyone, including the narrator, without outright disliking a character is incredible. You never know who did it, or if it was the supernatural, or all of the above. This story had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Macmillan and Netgalley gave me the audiobook for an honest review, which I will now be addressing the audiobook portion of the story. I enjoyed the reading of this and both of the narrators. I will say, Netgalley's audiobook player is pretty terrible, and I'm hoping that with time they make some improvements to it. This did take away from my listening enjoyment. That aside, the readers do a fantastic job at keeping you intrigued in the story, and are well-spoken.
