Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!
2 stars. A really nice idea, but sadly, it wasn't very good.
I'm a fan of mixed-media mysteries and thrillers. Especially of the kind that asks the reader to solve the case. This book isn't a successful version of that type of book, in my opinion.
The writing style was very rough and there was no distinction between the two timelines. Neither the current day nor the past setting actually made sense. The characters didn't talk or act like people and the mystery element was fairly obvious. There also wasn't enough mixed-media content and the included pieces weren't overly exciting.
The quality of the narration felt more like that of a game made to be enjoyed by your friends. It just didn't work as a novel.
