Well, I started another book. I'm pretty sure I've met my second reading goal of the year at this point. But that is because I decided to read mangas and graphic novels, but I'm no longer going to review them. I wish I could tell you more about the book I'm reading but I'm not that far in. I'm still taking advantage of audiobooks because they make life so much easier. Unless I am going to bed and fall asleep listening to the book. Which is what happened with this book. It happens with every audiobook I listen to. I get so sleepy at the end of the day and I try to listen to a few chapters while playing on my phone and I fall asleep. We all know that I go into books blind. So I have no idea what this book is about. So far I'm just trying to figure out what is going on. We have a person who woke up in the middle of the woods and has no memory. All we know is that they were hit on the head and someone tried to kill them. That is all we know so far. Oh, and they saw or heard a murder take place. But no one is too worried about it which is odd. So far this book is just odd. I hope it makes more sense the more I listen to the book. Wish me luck y'all.

I'm about a quarter of the way through the book and it's like a whole Groundhog's Day thing going on. I've never watched the movie but I have heard about it. Anyway the main character that we started with is reliving the same day but in different 'hosts'. The whole reason of this is to figure out a murder before it happens. It is an interesting concept and it's nice trying to solve a mystery before it even happens. Our main character is trapped in this mystery until they can solve it. Once they solve it and provide evidence, they are free from the cycle. If they fail, they will have to start all over again. Now the title kind of makes sense. The only predictable thing about this book so far is that by the eighth day, they will solve the mystery. But it is still interesting that they have to relive this one day to figure out what they need to in order to become free. I'm kind of invested. Sadly our main character already wasted three of the eight days and is now trying to work with what they have. I wonder how this mystery will be solved.

I have about two hours left of this book and we are so close to finding out who the killer is. Well, we know who one killer is but the big twist is that there is another one. We still don't know who the second killer is and it looks like all is lost at this point. Being so close to finding out all of the answers and seeing failure in the future is tough. I do really like this book. It kept me entertained and curious as to who the killer is. The constant loops that have been happening for a long time now and everyone is racing to find out who did it in order to escape the loop. Sure some of them fight a little bit dirty but that is what keeps it pretty interesting. I do recommend this book. I was describing it to my mother and she says it reminds her of Clue mixed in with Groundhog's Day. I can't help but agree with her in a way. I wish I could tell you more about the book but that would ruin the whole mystery. But I can say that the seventh host of our main character learns a lot about the mystery. He only needed one more hour to solve it too before he gets killed off. It must be so frustrating to be so close and then your host gets killed and you jump to a new host. I'm going to continue listening to the book in hopes to finding out who did it and I suggest you grab this book to find out yourself on who did it. I have my suspicions and it is only a matter of time before I find out if I was right or not. The book gets four out of five stars from me.
