Grace saves the letters.

I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. The narrator did an excellent job presenting this mystery. She brought lots of excitement and feels to the action. 5 stars for her. Unfortunately the story was very repetitive and it even got boring for me. Grace finds some letters that hold town secrets. Then spends the whole time on the run from "bad guys" that want the letters. So lots of action. Lots of excitement. Just how many ways can she evade harm and danger? Her cat rescues her several times. Then it finishes out with it still not all resolved.

Terrible

The book started and I thought I had mistakenly started in the middle. It didn’t even make sense. There was no plot, just Grace being chased by mysterious entities. I wasted my time listening to it. The narration was good.

conspiracies

Grace comes across letters the "whole" town wants to keep buried. She is constantly running to save her live and to unbury the truth of the letters.

Cat & Mouse

This was my first experience with this author's work. I was entertained by the story; however, there was a lot of repetition in the descriptive phrases of the settings, and in the events which occurred. I liked Grace, and I loved her cat. I thought Terra Hicks' narration was great, and her performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

Love letters

Audiobook Review

Secrets of a small town that most of the town has been hiding. Grace finds love letters that will be the clue to hidden secrets that can doom the entire town. She will be in constant danger and not knowing who to trust. With the aid of her trusty cat she somehow manages to survive being caught and unlocking the mystery.

very repetitive

Unfortunately this book was not very interesting. The narrator tried their best but there wasn't much to work with in my opinion. Grace finds some mysterious letters with the help of her cat and then spends rest of story running, with her cat, from others who want these letters. Her cat saves her numerous times while she keeps running from the bad guys who always know exactly where she is. This action is repeated, repeated again, and then repeated consistently till the end. There is not much background given to really care about any of the characters. After suffering from all this repetition, the story does not end in satisfying manner, more of a cliffhanger. I ended up listening at 2x speed to move story along.
I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author via StoryOrigin and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
