Still Trying to Figure Out What Age This Is For

Reviewed: 20-06-23

This book was great, like the rest of the series, but it has definitely left me wondering still just what age group this is aimed at. It's so gorey.

Gruesome as Always

Reviewed: 04-05-23

I managed to get through this book exceptionally quickly. I'm sure it's the quickest I've ever gotten through an audiobook before.

Each of the stories was very compelling.

GGY:
I can absolutely see now why people were going mad over this particular story. GGY, Gregory, Greg. It's about as clearcut as any story in the FNAF universe has gotten before. I have to say, I really enjoyed this one too. The writing was simplistic as always but was detailed enough that the mystery never felt lacking. The characters, particularly our main character, Tony, were very well fleshed out, and I really felt for this kid.

The Storyteller:
So, my thoughts from last time about who was running the show were sort of answered, and yet have opened a lot more questions seeing as the guy in charge doesn't have a particularly pleasant end to his story. Again, this was fun and full of twists. The two creators seemed to be stand-ins for Henry and William, the down to earth inventor and the slick, polished businessman playing at inventor until he gets his way. Destroying one another. It was another quick paced and inventive story and I want to know more about the mimic.

The Bobbiedots Conclusion:
I'm really pleased with this one. It did not disappoint, and I would really love to see more of the characters in this one. There are so many little lore additions and implications on robot families and quite frankly, these were some of the best written characters in the whole series.

Epilogue:
Alexa, play Queen's Another One Bites the Dust.

Bottom of the List

Reviewed: 02-05-23

Honestly, I wasn't as impressed with this novel as much as I was with previous instalments.

Firstly, the accents. I can't stress how badly the accents in this story affected my attention to the audiobook. The narrator has always seemed a little... robotic in this audiobook series, but this time, there was the addition of the many accents, and it all fell to bits. The English accents were bad enough, but then it's said she's trying to do an Irish accent, and I just couldn't take it seriously.

Then there was the mystery. It had so much potential. Unfortunately, it fell short and became secondary to the pointless drama. I'm here for the mystery, not whatever the hell was going on with this forced romance between Stevie and David. Because it was forced. It was shoehorned in because that's what YA does.

If there's another book, which there likely will be with that god awful ending, I'll check it out. I'm in for the long haul, but yeah. This was a subpar entry to the series.

A Wild Ride

Reviewed: 28-04-23

I loved this audiobook so much.

The narrator is so good and remained engaging throughout the story.

The story itself was a little chaotic, but I never felt lost. It was interesting to see each of the different branches come together.

Wonderfully Fantastical

Reviewed: 18-01-22

4.75 out of 5 stars.

I felt genuinely enthralled throughout the entirety of this book. There was something so uniquely whimsical, yet absolutely tragically real, that made this books feel as though I lived a thousand lives in the best possible way.

Each of the characters was engaging and so well-rounded. Journeying through this truly bizarre scenario with them was just the kind of story I've been looking for.

I really cannot wait to check out more of Claire Legrand's books because what was crafted here was incredible.

What in the actual hell did I just read?

I have never had to stop myself from having a really visceral reaction to a book before but the stories in this volume were particularly gory and gruesome.

A Genuinely Good Conclusion

Reviewed: 09-07-21

This was a genuinely good conclusion to what has been a fantastic little murder mystery series.

I know there's another book, but this trilogy of the Truly Devious mystery was superb. Normally book 3 tends to fall flat when it comes to YA stories, not always, but more often than not it happens.

This book, however, was satisfying in the way it revealed its ending and made sure all loose ends were sorted.

A decent series from an author I initially never wanted to read again.

A Slow Burn, but Great

Reviewed: 04-05-20

I am not okay.

Granted, there were a LOT of slow patches but overall this book was really bloody good.

The world building, character development and moments of tension were great. Todd had a realistic voice, he sounded like a real person and that made the slow scenes tolerable and the tense scenes intriguing.

Awesome

Reviewed: 04-05-20

This was such an amazing book!

I adored every single second of it. Stephen King has a way of creating a living, breathing world within the pages of his books and this one was so freaking cool!

I really felt for Ben and Mark, and all the characters really. I can't praise it enough.

Absolutely fantastic!

Reviewed: 04-05-20

I wasn't expecting this book to be as good as it was and I am so pleased about that.

The story structure was honestly amazing, the writing was full of twists and turns, and the characters were all enjoyable to read about. Not a single one of them felt two dimensional. They were all so morally grey it made it all the more interesting to read about.

Man am I happy to have read this book!
