Story
Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything.

Unable to Complete
Reviewed: 07-18-23
I had such high hopes, but could not complete this one. As others have stated, it was a difficult listening experience on Audible. I tried to speed up and slow down the narration, all to no avail. I felt myself becoming more anxious as the book progressed, so sadly I dnf'd the book.

Story
Grace Evans, an overworked New Yorker looking for a total escape from her busy life, books an Airbnb on a ranch in the middle of Wyoming. When she arrives at the idyllic getaway, she’s pleased to find that the owner is a handsome man by the name of Calvin Wells—and he’s eager to introduce her to his easygoing way of life. But there are things Grace discovers that she’s not too pleased about: A lack of cell phone service. A missing woman. And a feeling that something isn’t right with the ranch.

So Disappointing
Reviewed: 05-08-23
Highly anticipated. Left much to be desired. Never developed an interest in any of the characters and forced relationship was not believable from the beginning.

Story
Daisy is a girl coming of age in LA in the late '60s, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock and roll she loves most. By the time she’s 20, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things. Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne.

Refreshing Approach
Reviewed: 11-29-22
Enjoyed the narration and storytelling perspective. The approach was so realistic, I kept forgetting it was fiction. Well done. Highly recommend, especially the Audible version.

Just Okay at Best
Reviewed: 11-29-22
Difficult to get past the narration, especially when the female lead character told by the male character sounds like a 65 year-old woman. Characters are not particularly likeable and chemistry never develops. Would not recommend this book.

Story
When Rachel met handsome Irish widower Lorcan it was a whirlwind romance. Her family back in New Zealand thought it would never last. But it did, and they were so happy. Bringing up two children hadn’t been in her life plan, but it had become her joy, and she was as proud of them as if they were her own. Their little family wasn’t quite the same as everyone else’s, but it was beautiful, it was happy, it was home. Until now. Because when Lorcan’s life is taken in a tragic accident, it feels like Rachel’s world has died with him.

Excellent Narration

Enjoyed both the narration and storyline. A "feel-good book" worth the listen. Aoife McMahon is among my favorites and voices were fitting for the characters.
