A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham

Thanks to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the content of my review. I am sad to say this will not be a positive review. Firstly, I want to make it clear that the two stars here is specifically for the audio version. I think if I had read the hard copy I would have rounded up to three stars (me eleven months later: or maybe not). I found the narrator to have an exceptionally irritating way of speaking that emphasized […]

Chloe Davis is an amazingly brilliant and wonderful young psychologist living in Baton Rouge. We know she is amazingly […]
