The End Of Mr. Y

If you knew a book was cursed, would you read it?

When Ariel Manto uncovers a copy of The End of Mr. Y in a secondhand bookshop, she can't believe her eyes. She knows enough about its author, the outlandish Victorian scientist Thomas Lumas, to know that copies are exceedingly rare. And, some say, cursed.

With Mr. Y under her arm, Ariel finds herself thrust into a thrilling adventure of love, sex, death and time travel.

INCREDIBLE narrator

Perfect accents, excellent voices, subtle transitions, brilliant intonations. The narrator elevates the work here, which is slightly overwrought. She kept me going to the very end, which was cool enough.

What a story

This book was so imaginative and I could really dove into the heads of the characters. Such a lovely read
