Audiobook narrator

I enjoyed Christy Foley's narration of this book. Her enunciation was clear, speed was appropriate. I will listen to more books narrated by Ms. Foley.

This audiobook had me hooked from the start

This audiobook pulled me in from the very beginning! It is a gripping dystopian thriller that blends suspense, action, and deep psychological layers with a strong core of friendship and loyalty. The world-building was intense, the pacing spot-on, and the twists kept me guessing.

The narrator did a solid job bringing the story to life, but what really stood out to me was just how sublime the story itself was, dark, thoughtful, and surprisingly emotional in places. It felt like every chapter peeled back another layer of the characters and the world they’re trying to survive in.

I genuinely can’t wait to hear more from this series. If you like intelligent dystopian fiction with heart and tension, give this one a listen. Highly recommended!

Well Narrated, Interesting Story

I’m very picky about narrator’s voices. This one was very easy to listen to. The book was out of my typical genre, but I was sucked into the story. It reminded me a bit of The Hunger Games, but also Black Mirror, and a touch of The Truman Show. It’s nice and short, so if you’re looking to branch out into this genre this book is a great place to start!
