About this listen

A young girl that has been held in a secret facility since her birth and trained to be a killer has escaped into the realm of humans. With those in charge seeking to eliminate her, she must find refuge in the only place safe from both sides: Bathory
Asylum, a safe haven for supernatural beings.

However, this safe haven might not be so safe, causing her to have to flee once more in search of her family...but will she find them alive?

I assume this is a self published book, as it desperately needs editing. It’s not particularly well written and the dialogue between characters lacks authenticity. In the first chapter you get something along the lines of ‘She didn’t need their blood, but she needed it’, you never actually get to know why she needs it….but then again she doesn’t need it🫣
The first chapter doesn’t seem to flow or really go anywhere, much like the rest of the story, it then ends really abruptly and I’m still non the wiser about what happened? I did find the poor writing distracting so I might well have missed chunks of the plot.
CSA and forced abortion are mentioned, so if wouldn’t recommend it for a young teen.
