With a full review of the story and the writing, there's little new I could say about it right now, except for the fact that I'm still in love with it. I was a little curious about what I'd think about it after some time, and while it made me nervous about the consent and obsession parts, but I actually enjoyed how dark yet hopeful and positive this book seemed to be one year after I first read it.
Now, the narration was just awesome. With the right texture and emotion depending on the scene, Blake Lockheart added a new lawyer to an already good story. He made sure to get all the characters under my skin, always keeping a seductive tone. I loved that it was all just the voice, nice and clear, with no additional sounds or effects, making it all the more intimate and personal, along with the changes depending on which character was speaking. This man made them all come to life with ease!
Only little complain? At normal speed, it was a little too slow for me, so I speeded it up and it felt much better. It is not a mistake in the strict sense, but I thought some of you would like to know beforehand. Honestly, it's the only thing I didn't like that much, but audible already gives you the option to make it faster, et voilà.
As before, this was a nice experience, a story that I was glad to revisit. He Sees You When You’re Sleeping is twisted for sure, but it still leaves a nice, positive message at the end. I would definitely like to hear more audiobooks by Sara narrated by Blake. So far, seems like there's only This Is Now a Horror Movie, which was another novel I loved! So who knows, maybe I'll give it a try later. Meanwhile, I highly recommend you getting a copy of this deliciously dark romance. Thank me later.
