Things We Do in the Dark

Unfortunately, this was just mid for me. The writing style lacked emotion and depth. It felt a little bit like an outline of events. The characters were okay but came across as flat and dispassionate. It made it difficult for me to feel anything about the story and events transpiring.

The pacing was interesting it kind of felt all over the place and I couldn't catch my bearings. The shifts between past and present events were confusing as they would randomly occur without warning or proper transition.

Also, the way events unfolded with many of the twists felt unremarkable to me. There wasn't much buildup or suspense surrounding them they just occurred in the middle of the story and bam it was over.

The ending was ok. We got a resolution to events and a final reveal but again it was so anticlimactic. This just didn't work out for me at all.
