My Within These Wicked Walls Story
Wow. Wow. Wow. I can't recommend the audiobook of Within These Wicked Walls enough! The reader is captivating and authentic. There's something about her accent and affectations that make this an optimal book for the audiophile in all of us.
Now, on to the story. SO COOL! I loved Andromeda (that name... swoon) and her constant (and justified) distrust of her surroundings. Not only is she in a house that needs to be cleansed of the Evil Eye, but she was taught this craft by folks that you wouldn't want to be in a dark alley with. She knows her shit and after a life of scarcity, being faced with disregarded luxury is more of a red flag than the phantom coming up through the floor.
It's amazing how something you know, no matter how terrifying, can be defeated easily when fought with the backdrop of class disparities. Yeah, I know that last sentence got away from me. I stand by it... just read the book, you'll get it.
