This one was a tease it’s full of mystery and suspense and I’m definitely needing the next one in the series. This was a really well paced and intense book that kept every scrap of my attention until the end bravo.

Wow

A mystery that needs to be solved but not yet

An art student is fascinated with a triangular historic building, but there seems to a someone living in the building, but it's derelict. Who could be living there?

It's a good story, which develops as the art student and the recluse starts researching the past and history of the building. However, you don't get a happy ending. In fact, you don't get an ending. It's a to be continued series.

In some places within the audio, there was a lot of interference noise which could be off-putting, but during the main narration, it was very clear. This is one of the few narrators that I had to hardly speed up. Listened at 1.10 speed on audible.

This was a good listen. The story itself is a slow start to whatever is to come and doesn't off a clear resolution. Not sure if I’ll continue the series or not; maybe ill wait until it's finished in audible. There were a few kinks in the overall production, but they can be overlooked. The narrator was decent - I did speed up a little. Overall, a good story that I expect will only get better as the audios are released.

Good, but slow, start

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up this book. New authors to me, a narrator I haven’t heard before, and a genre I don’t usually pick (mystery). I’m so glad I took a chance on this one!

Tristan is an art student who loves architecture. He’s obsessed with the Triangle Building where he often hangs out just to sketch it. That image is very vivid to me, and although it was on the cover of the ebook, I was a little disappointed it wasn’t on the cover of the audio book. All that being said, I have an image of New York’s flat iron triangle building and that style has always intrigued me. Does so for Tristan as well. Only one day, as he’s reviewing his sketch, he realizes he’s sketched a face in one of the windows.

Believing the building to be abandoned, he’s quite surprised. The curiosity gets the better of him and he figures out how to break in. Now, I never condone illegal behavior, but of course I was curious what he’d find. An OCD agoraphobic who hasn’t left the building for a very long time. Tristan slowly gets to know the man, returning again and again. Although he nicknames the man Eggbert, he does eventually find out his name.

And as they grow closer, this odd pair, they begin exploring the building, discovering all her secrets. And she has some doozies.

This book ends on a mini-cliffhanger – there is way more to come. Rest assured, I’ll be snatching up the next book. I want to see what’s hiding in the building, I want to watch the budding relationship between the two men, and I want to know if Eggbert will ever overcome his psychological issues. I’m rooting for him. That Tristan is so understanding speaks volumes, and I like where this is going – but I suspect there’ll be a few bumps along the way.

A quick word about William Pierre. New to me, but really enjoyable. He very much suited the narration of the college student. Can’t wait for the next one.

Unexpectedly Enthralling

I discovered Tag Gregory and Lily Marie books last year so I was curious about this book and decided to hear it. I enjoyed the book so much because the wonderful characters with some quirks well managed by the authors, a captivating mystery and a slow burn romance. I am not a fan of cliffhangers, but this one was discrete and with little angst, so I got hooked with the series and now I am looking to read book 2. The narration was interesting, with a great performance of Mr Pierre, very enjoyable because his nice voice and acting. An amazing audiobook!

A mystery!
