Publisher's summary
From Amina Akhtar comes a viciously funny thriller about wellness - the smoothies, the secrets, and the deliciously deadly impulses.
Lifelong New Yorker Ronnie Khan never thought she’d leave Queens. She’s not an “aim high, dream big” person - until she meets socialite wellness guru Marley Dewhurst.
Marley isn’t just a visionary; she’s a revelation. Seduced by the fever dream of finding her best self, Ronnie makes for the desert mountains of Sedona, Arizona.
Healing yoga, transcendent hikes, epic juice cleanses...Ronnie consumes her new bougie existence like a fine wine. But is it, really? Or is this whole self-care business a little sour?
When the glam gurus around town start turning up gruesomely murdered, Ronnie has her answer: all is not well in wellness town. As Marley’s blind ambition veers into madness, Ronnie fears for her life.

England, 1940. Literature student Ruth Gladstone evacuates Cambridge University for Martynsborough, a tiny English village with a shadowy history. For Ruth, retreating to a forgotten corner of the country is more than a safety maneuver; it’s an opportunity to end an undesirable engagement and begin writing her first novel. But upon her arrival, Ruth learns of a ghostly wraith haunting the villagers after decades of silence. Although Ruth is enthralled by the legend, the locals are less charmed by the wraith’s return.

Story
Conquering dungeons and using them to grow has long been the most efficient way to become a powerful adventurer. The only thing keeping the process from being easy is the Beasts that inhabit these places. Questions plague those entering this particular place of power: Where do the ‘rewards’ of weapons, armor, and heavy gold coins come from? Why is a fluffy bunny charging at me? For abyss-sake, why are there so many monsters? Cal has all of the answers to these age-old questions for a very simple reason. He is a Dungeon Core, a soul forced against his will into a magical stone.

John Wayne Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it. He's obsessed with serial killers, but really doesn't want to become one. So for his own sake, and the safety of those around him, he lives by rigid rules he's written for himself, practicing normal life as if it were a private religion that could save him from damnation. Dead bodies are normal to John. They don't demand or expect the empathy he's unable to offer. Perhaps that's what gives him the objectivity to recognize that there's something different about the body the police have just found behind the Wash-n-Dry Laundromat - and to appreciate what that difference means.

When I first met Jasmine Greene, she came in as raindrops. I was the awkward musician, and she was the high school queen. The only things we had in common were our music and our loneliness. Something in her eyes told me her smile wasn't always the truth. Something in her voice gave me a hope I always wished to find. And in a flash, she was gone. Years later, she was standing in front of me on a street in New Orleans. She was different, but so was I.

This isn't a book to be passed up!!!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! My jaw is still on the floor! I tried to figure out who the killer was but failed with each guess. Try as you may. You may not figure it out either until the very end. Marley worked my nerves and only treated Ronnie nicely when she felt Ronnie benefited her, all while she treated Ronnie like some sort of charity case. I hated that Ronnie allowed herself to be manipulated so much by Marley. It made sense, though, considering how Ronnie was treated by her aunt. Moving to Sedona changed everyone's lives and brought with it some jaw-dropping reveals, too.

Refreshingly different.
Very enjoyable narration. Intriguing story line. Interesting characters. Morality, questionable.
(Why does Audible require a fifteen word review? I said all I want to say in ten)

Just ok
I was bummed that I didn’t love this book. It may have been the narration, which was halting and had strange pauses. I ended up speeding up to 1.3x, which helped. The story was ok - I will say the ending was good!

Surprize
The about should have said the main character was an American born Pakistanie. thar fact really helped as I too am Brown skinned ans can relate to the isolation she felt. I guessed a the way through but all the clues were there. I didn't figure out the ending so I really enjoyed this book.

Great! then meh
Overall I think it was a great book. But I feel like the falling action & the ending fell flat. Everything leading to the climax had me so intrigued & I couldn't stop listening. But then when it got to the best part of the book, I felt a bit let down by how simple it all felt & how smooth the ending went. Especially with such a big plot twist at the end. It almost felt rushed. But I'm glad I was introduced to this book. I LOVED the characters.

Could have been good
This book had the potential to be pretty good. The storyline, overall, was interesting but there were several things that completely distracted me. First, the narration had serval random, long pauses in places were they shouldn’t be. I had to keep checking my phone to see if I got bounced out of the audible app. The narrative for Ronnie was flat: no inflection and no emotion (please note, overwrought emotion annoys me terribly). Almost like someone reading the ingredients on a cereal box. In addition to the technical issues, I did have some trouble stomaching the story line. First, it’s a book with mostly hateful characters, all the way around. That was ok, it’s not uncommon to dislike the main characters; in fact, I often find that more interesting. What I didn’t like, and I have been seeing a lot of this in recent books, is the underlying political themes. Essentially, all white people are bad. Now, if this wasn’t such a common theme through nearly every recently written book, I wouldn’t be so bothered by it. After all, they are supposed to be writing from the character’s pov. Unfortunately, this appears to be the underlying theme of many books written in the last few years. The irony is, the main character is Muslim and gets extremely offended when anyone, especially white people, ask questions about the Muslim faith or makes inappropriate comments, yet has no issue with stereotyping anyone who is white, flys an American flag, carries a gun or has a trump banner. She then states she doesn’t like stereotyping. Again, wouldn’t have thought a thing about it except the majority of the books offered in the plus catalog follow the same lines: white people are bad and they are all racist. The really odd part is she never mentions negative interactions with anyone that is not part of her own culture, prior to Sedona. Is it too much to ask for some entertainment without stereotyping the majority of the population? I stopped watching tv (at one point she thinks to herself one should watch less tv regarding the stereotyping of the Muslim faith) because of exactly this. It’s been pretty difficult to find a book that doesn’t employ these tactics and becoming less and less enjoyable.

Loved the story, the audio though…
I really liked this story. The ending is jaw dropping and I really liked it he honest perspective of a non-white narrator. The audio though, ugh…the performances were good (especially the ravens who were terrifying and that narrator is amazing). But the editing???? Why are there so many weird pauses?? I had to keep checking my phone to make sure nothing had stopped. Whoever edited this needs to find another career…

Friends….how many of us have them?
I thought this was a great book. I thought Ronnie was the killer because she sounded so innocent that she sounded guilty. However, she was guilty of something in the end. It was a good who did it then? Kind of story.

Was dreading finishing it but didn’t want to waste a credit
OK, I love a good thriller but this one’s feels like it was written by a 15-year-old girl. Very emotional and main characters insecurities of her own self make the book hard to read for me. I noticed it would take myself a little bit of convincing to even start the next chapter.

Weird recording
A few people have mentioned the odd pauses, and I just had to say that it really is distracting, so much so that I almost put it down a few times. The narrator for Ronnie was not very professional—her reading was monotonous and wooden. I can’t understand how this could be sold this way. It’s like someone made it in their basement.
I liked the ravens, but I like magical realism. If you don’t like that kind of thing, don’t read this.
