The Companion

"I loved this book, the spookiness. Tbh I thought at first Agatha was going to be some evil person they were forcing Margot to befriend but it became clear that Laura was the mentally insane one all along. I’m glad that they ended up making it away, that seems like such a scary situation to be in. Constantly held hostage and drugged. "

"Great sign I was already creeped out by Chapter 5. When Chapter 7 came around.....nope no nope Margot run, run away now. The next chapter the book took a straight nose dive. Agatha was the only saving grace of this book and even her power over the writing was taken away.<br/><br/>Then after a while the atmosphere which was so potent dulled down to a simmer. Honestly I just got through reading back to back amazing twisty reads and this book suffered even more for it. Before you say it, yes I know I'm judgmental. But I also know that this is my review so scram. I won't lower my expectations just because it had an easy writing style.<br/><br/>By Chapter 4 I already had figured out the culprit and by 7 the motive. What more was there to learn? Who lived and who died. Besides Agatha, I didn't relate or care for any of the other characters. To me they felt dry and unrealistic. Margot's character was agonizingly obtuse. Even the romance felt carelessly tossed in to try to pry our eyes away from what we already knew.<br/><br/>Although I did think Taylor Meskimen did a great job narrating with one exception. Garrett. His voice seemed underage and miniscule. Bare with me my complaining is almost over. Even near the end of the story I learned that one of the main characters were a contradiction in and of themself. <br/><br/>To sum it up Agatha should have been the main bases of all that was unholy. Barrett should have never existed. Margot needed to grow a brain before I strangled her and most importantly in a thriller there should have been a twist.<br/><br/>Yeah feel free to burn me for my unpopular opinions down in the comments below. This compilation of complaining contradictions has been brought to you by Oolong tea. Nothing says this ramble was to long like Oolong."

"This was a really good book,although I wasn’t shocked by what happened to Agatha,or how she ended up the way she did,it was still sad. I thought Margot’s trauma was interesting. I liked the spooky element in it,and the taste of found family that was in it as well!!"

"I liked The Companion overall, but I had some issues with it. It was really predictable, and I wish it wouldn't have been so easy to figure out. It also felt overly long for the story that was being told, and it dragged sometimes. However, I was still interested enough to finish, and I would check out another book by this author. <br/><br/>CW - grief, drugging, death of family members, abuse, mention of killing an animal"
