Reseñas de la Crítica

"Building on the success of tense mysteries like Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl (2012), author Bonnie Traymore has crafted a deliciously unsettling domestic thriller with her new novel The Stepfamily." - BookTrib

Fun and Keeps you Guessing

Narration was great and I enjoyed all of the twists throughout the story. Its a mystery but it felt more like a light read. If you’re tired of your typical beach reads and need something a little more meaty this does the trick.

The StepFamily

The story is edge of your seat. And the beginning has you wondering if it’s just coincidence. Of course we know it’s not! I was a little let down with how easy the ending played out, but am definitely looking forward to the next book! Over all a good listen and the narration is spot on. She really nailed the characters.

Great book!

This book kept my interest the entire time. It had multiple twists that had me guessing of who was involved. I have to admit, I did suspect the husband, especially given the outcome of his 1st wife. The narrator did an amazing job. I love Meghan Kelly’s voice.

Holy moly!!

This story had so many layers , and as each one was peeled back it revealed more hidden secrets . Is someone after Laura? Who would it be and why , if this is true??? Suspense kept me listening and guessing. What a spectacular ending. The twists were brilliant. It blows the doors right off!!! I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion . The narrator did a great job bringing the characters and story to life. I highly recommend this book.

WOW!

What a wonderfully written story. It kept me guessing right up until the end. There were so many twists and turns I suspected everyone.
Meghan Kelly is a brilliant narrator. She puts every emotion into her words and I love that she can do the male voices along with the female voices.

My Thoughts on The Stepfamily

This was a new to me author that I decided to check out because I liked the synopsis and I love the narrator. But I’m glad that I did because this story was one that held my attention with no issue from start to finish and would certainly have me interested in checking out more from the author. The point of view was third person and yet at the same time seemed to focus a lot on Laura Foster who married into this family in which her husband’s previous wife died many years ago leaving him a widow with two young children whom she’s helped raise after coming into the picture years after the death. But suddenly weird and dangerous things are happening, and truths are coming to light, and it was one heck of a thrilling ride. I was impressed with the way it all came to light and the overall flow of the story was well done. When combined with the excellent narration I found this to be a really good listening experience.

Great Book

I enjoyed this psychological thriller audiobook delivered brilliantly by the talents of narrator, Meghan Kelly. The storyline was suspenseful and entertaining.
