Awesome!

I cleaned & listened! Best time I’ve had cleaning my house in a long time! Suspenseful, to say the least! The ending I was teary-eyed. Immediately called my daughter to term her it’s a MUST READ! Enjoy! You’re in for a great ride😘

Good twists

The whole book was great up until the ending. Good twists. I liked the story in a story.

Just okay

Didn’t hate it but it definitely wasn’t a favorite. Just felt kinda long considering you figure out what is happening fairly early on. The narrator was good but her voice was a little too soothing and made me want to fall asleep sometimes.

Narrator was great- story was meh

The writing and narration were excellent, but the plot was difficult to follow and I became bored trying to keep up.

Really enjoyed this!

I really enjoyed this book. Good story and the narrator did a really great job.

End of Book

I did not expect the ending. Great story, many characters making it more complex. Overall great and easy listen!

Hoping for a second

I enjoyed this book a lot about each character and I was on edge thinking I knew how this would end and then nope not that. I am hopeful they will be a second book.

Too Long!

A Very Bad Thing I'm afraid, ended up being a disappointing read. The book was way to long. Twice as long as it should have been. I found myself skimming just to get done. I Normally call it quits when a book doesn't hold my interest at the 20-25% mark but I kept going with this one. The writing wasn't terrible. The story was just too long with not much suspense. The narration was very good.

Unbelievable

Dramatic presentation. Story line is unbelievable the end is what i suspected. Suspenseful in parts.

There are many unexpected developments and changes.

The narrative skillfully maintained a sense of intrigue, constantly urging you to delve deeper into its mysteries. With many intricate layers woven throughout the thriller, each twist and turn adds depth to the plot, creating an engaging and captivating experience. Overall, it was a thoroughly entertaining story that kept you on the edge of your seat, eager to uncover what lay ahead.
