Thank you to Netgalley and Tor Teen for an ARC of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
For me, Find Him Where You Left Him Dead by Kristen Simmons was one of those books with an amazing premise and a lackluster execution. The summary sounds exciting with the characters being forced to return to a location where they left their friend for dead years before and vowed never to tell the truth of what happened. They are forced to play a game centered in Japanese mythology to get their friend back and to get out alive themselves. This should have been an edge of your seat story. Unfortunately, the characters, dynamics, and the plot itself were poorly established. As the story unfolded, I didn't care about any of the characters and therefore didn't care if they survived or continued to the next phase of the game. If anything, it was tedious. I kept hoping it would finish, repeatedly checking to see how much time remained in the audiobook.
