Status Updates From Heroes Are My Weakness

This is so s. l. o. w...which doesnt feel like the usual SEP novel. Im afraid to read reviews for spoilers but I seriously hope this picks up soon.

Annie is TSTL. She makes one bad decision after another. And now she's playing child psychologist because her freaking puppets apparently give her insight into a messed up kids head? Seriously having a hard time finishing this. I don't like not finishing books, but I'm disgusted more and more with each page turned.

So far both of the characters are completely unlikeable. There's going to need to be some serious turn around for them to be redeemed in my eyes.

I found the emphasis on the protagonist's rather squirrely, in my opinion, obsession with her ventriloquism puppets in the beginning of the book pretty creepy. Didn't encourage empathy with Annie Hewitt, and well into the book, I still think she's a bit obtuse, albeit feisty. I like her male counterpart, Theo, far better. A fast read, especially for middle of the night insomnia.

There's something off about Jaycie...

Now I am getting into this book.

OK. the only reason I am still reading is I love SEP. it is too weird for my tastes do far.

I'm crying over puppets? What sorcery is this?

I am having grave doubts about this book. Which is sad, because I adore SEP. We'll see...
