In case there was any doubt, I picked this up because of the cover. I will say I found this one a little underwhelming. While the concept was a great idea, as well as the writing ability, I felt like this book suffered from being too short. This was one of those stories that needed more pages, in my opinion. I wanted to see the Pumpkin Pie hunt a little more. Because I was left with more questions than anything. And, while I don't mind books ending a little more open-ended, this just left me feeling like I only got a taste of a bigger story.
This was a two-hour listen, told in three parts, and contains everything I adore about Samantha Downing's writing. Every single time I thought I had it figured out, there was another twist, another clue, something that ruined my assumptions. There's something about the way Downing writes about life that always manages to convey its messiness; this story includes that. It totally works as a short story. I loved how it ended, but I also could have listened for a few more chapters to see if Grady ever figured it out.
HAPPY READING!!
