Girl on the Edge

De: CD Reiss

Narrado por: Maxine Mitchell, Joe Arden

From the author of the Audie Award-winning and the New York Times best-selling Marriage Games comes a deeply intense new series.

Everything is going to be perfect. Greyson comes home from deployment to live the life she and her husband Caden dreamed of. He has a surgical residency, and she has a psychiatric practice in the basement of their Manhattan brownstone.

Caden loves his wife more than he can measure. But he starts hearing whispers. Someone else loves her. Someone else wants her. There's someone else, and though whoever's behind the whispers will move mountains to have her, Caden will move heaven and earth to keep her.

Greyson will never break her vows, even as their marriage snaps apart one piece at a time; even as the line between reverie and reality blurs; even as Caden demands control, and Greyson cedes it. She will never, ever turn her back on him. When their marriage crumbles, her resolve shakes and love becomes the one thing holding them together.

Wow

I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't that! This novel is marvelous, the twists and turns kept me engaged until the very end! The ending is spectacular, sad tears went to happy tears within minutes! The narrators Joe and Maxine did an amazing job bringing the story to life! They are my favorite narrators!

Struggled to finish....

This isn't CD Reiss' best work. It had the author's characteristic complex story lines and top shelf writing. There was a huge speed bump however in the irrational behaviour of Greysen, the army major psychiatrist.

As the story progressed there were fewer detailed descriptions of Caden and Greysen's sexual encounters (sadomasochistic sex) and post-coital debates about paraphilias. That was good as the sex had become monotonous and it was increasingly difficult to hold onto the image of Greysen as an intelligent, strong woman. Her trust that her damaged, volatile husband in the throes of mental illness wouldn't seriously harm her was unjustified and denied everything her professional training would have told her.

If you don't have a need to reconcile the highly accomplished, capable psychiatrist's behaviour with her misplaced and out-of-character approach to her husband's illness then this would be a very entertaining story. For me that illogical behaviour was an irritant that never resolved itself. I finished the story but won't be listening to it a second time.

The narrators were excellent, as these two almost always are.

SO AMAZING! LOVED THE DUAL NARRATION!

This was a long audiobook but soooo worth listening to.

I was riveted to every second of this book. I loved the characters. I loved the dual narration and anything narrated by Joe Arden is always a winner.

This book had so many twists and turns. I could not stop listening until it ended. I had it going at work, in my car at home and was compelled to listen until the very end.

I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

Undecided

Can't say if I liked or hated this audiobook. The idea behind the story is not bad, but it might have been dragged out over too many hours. Maybe if it had been more focused and to the point, it could have worked better... I don't know...
The only objective information I can give is that it took me several days to finish this book, and that is very unusual for me.

What a wild ride

Wow

I listened to the audio and Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchel hit it out of the park.

You can’t put CD Reiss’s story telling in a box. Yes there is sex (a lot) but damn it’s so much more than that. The plot is intricate, hooks you and has you on the edge until the very end. What an experience. I’m at a lost to describe how reading this book makes me feel. Like I was shattered and glued back together but not the same? Idk, I’m going to be thinking about it for a bit. Not like anything I’ve read before.

CRAZY GOOD BOOK! 🔍🔥

narration was perfect storyline was great Left you on the edge of your seat wondering what was going to happen next this is one of my favorite books that I've listened to on audible It has a more unique storyline than a lot of the books I've listened to It was definitely worth the credit especially to hear Joe Arden's voice for 18 hours hahah

Girl on the Edge kept me on the Edge

Kayden and Grayson weave a tangled web through their lives so much so that their undying love and belief in one another is the tether holding them together. The brilliance of the story combined with the amazing narration makes this book one I will listen to again and again.

I just finished and I’m listening again !!!!

OMG a roller coaster of emotions and feelings. Joe Arden shows how versatile he is all in one book. One minute I’m all hot and bothered and the next I want to hold Ceydon and never let him go. Maxine Mitchell is amazing as Greyson. Kudos to CD Reiss. Thank you for such an intense book. Just .. wow!

The narrators kept me going...

The story is set up like one of those tv cooking shows where you know nothing is going to be revealed without revisiting and teasing it 10 times and going to a commercial break first, and I find that style of storytelling unnecessarily manipulative. I actually stopped caring about the characters about 3/4 of the way through and was just listening for the incredible performance. YMMV

Long and brutal

To me Maxine Mitchell and Joe Arden can do no wrong and that is the case with this book as well. However, this book is very long and caused an intense amount of anxiety for very very little happiness. It is very dark and is not uplifting so take that in mind before starting. It’s a very interesting and a unique story but just go in knowing you will be wrecked during the majority of the book.
