This read a bit like a B-movie to me. I really had difficulty getting into it and the multiple POVs really got challenging after a while. Overall, this one was just okay. The idea of doing drugs to complete an ancient Greek ritual didn't titilate me like the premise of the book made it seem. I found myself bored often and the little bit of action only held my attention for so long before it went back to being bland again.
Thanks NetGalley and Poisoned Pen for this ARC.
Netgalley read.
That's a lot of words when “Don't do drugs” would suffice.
This might be great for some people but this was not for me, I found all of the characters unlikable. I didn't find the story believable on bit.
No fire alarm that's connected to a fire station or similar in a library with rare books, really?
There were a few turns this could have taken to be interesting but it didn't.
This book didn't reach my expectations. I felt like I was waiting for the story to get going and it just kinda didn't.
It felt a bit over written and the characters were really uninspiring.
The ending is the only saving grace in this book. I am glad I finished it because the ending was actually worth it. I wonder if it was just above my paygrade and didn't get it but the ending is worth it.
The pace wasn't quite right either. It was a bit slow then a lot going on and then nothing but it felt unfinished. I actually would loved to listen to the audio as maybe something was lost in translation for me

I, too, enjoyed the film BODIES BODIES BODIES. This is just that, but in a library.
