About this listen

When you get up in the morning, the last thing you expect to see is a murdered guy hanging outside your window. Things like that tend to draw the attention of the local police, and when you're squatting in your parents' old house until you can afford to buy it, another thing you can't afford is the attention of the cops.

Oh yeah. Hi. My name is Pet. It's not my real name, but it's the only one you're getting. Things like names are important these days.

And it's not so much that I'm Pet. I am a pet. A human pet: I belong to the two Behindkind fae and the pouty vampire who just moved into my house.

It's not weird, I promise - well, it is weird, yeah. But it's not weird weird, you know?

I’m drawing a blank as to why I added this book to my library. I think I was looking for paranormal mystery and this book popped up and at first the synopsis sounded interesting so I downloaded it. Little Did I know the little blurb is actually the very beginning of the book and as interested as it sounded, I couldn’t make it past chapter 3. 1. the narrator’s voice is so young, I instantly knew this is going to be a book where the MC is going to annoy the shit out of me, and I was right, because the MC is a teen. 2. as soon as she described her parents murder from a home invasion I thought, did the author think this book through because her secret room is just a secret room it’s not a soundproof room so you’re telling me she wakes up having no idea her parents have been killed and people have broken into the house when her room is just like any other room just behind a hidden panel? absolute ridiculous and then I thought, oh no what have I gotten myself into?

Then we start discussing the murdered man that is hanging outside her window. There is no lead up to this murder it is within the first five minutes of the book because the little synopsis you read, as I said before, is the beginning of the book, almost verbatim. It’s a miracle that I even made it past chapter 1, her retelling of what was happening outside the window between the three whoevers was very annoying. Don’t get me started on the narrator’s horrible Korean. why hire a narrator who can’t speak Korean, when there is a character who only speaks Korean?

Curiosity had me listening because she describes herself as a pet, an actual pet, so my first thought is shifter? Is she a cat? Is she a dog? Is she a hamster, nope, none of those, she’s actually just a human pet. That ended it for me.

YA and stupidly annoying
