Welcome to Litsy!

This is a dystopian murder mystery which takes place on an island & home to the last humans on Earth. Between the AI character, multi POV format, and short chapters - this was an engaging mystery to unravel.

This book comes out May 2024! My buddy read group gave it 3.5-4 ⭐️

The writing was concise, consistent and engaging. I truly enjoyed the strong, dynamic characters and adequate world building. Unfortunately, the pacing was just ok, and there were lulls at times when the story felt stagnant. The story was original, fun, and entertaining overall. #netgalley #ARC #bookishfirst
