Going Once

By: Sharon Sala

Narrated by: Mary Kane

Length: 6 hrs and 49 mins

Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author Sharon Sala comes a story of reignited passion set amidst a town reeling from disaster and the long shadow of a killer...

As raging floodwaters engulf her Louisiana hometown, Nola Landry is stranded on high ground, the unwitting witness to the brutal murder of three fellow survivors. Finally rescued in the aftermath of the storm, no one is willing to believe a story as horrific as hers - until three FBI agents arrive on the scene...one of whom Nola knows very well.

Tate Benton has been tracking the so-called Stormchaser serial killer for months, never expecting the trail might lead him home, or to the woman he cannot forget. Home is now a ravaged town full of memories - of love, of disappointment, of past mistakes. The investigation brings Nola back into his life. Long-buried feelings resurface, and the former lovers try to pick up the pieces in the wake of the disaster.

Amid the relief effort the killer lingers, determined to silence Nola forever. In the Stormchaser's twisted mind the pain is far from over...and hers is just beginning.

Finally an original story!

Narration was 👍. Easy to listen to and held my interest. This author has a new follower.😉

Crappy Narrator

Story is good, but narrator was terrible. Almost didn’t continue listening because of the crappy narration.

Good Story. Wrong Narrator.

Sharon Sala always writes well with good character development. Unfortunately, the narrator sounds just like Blanche Devereaux from the 'Golden Girls'... Which is fine, until the characters sound 65 as opposed to 29 years old. The cover of the sexy man is certainly not reflected in the voice. He sounds like an old man - The female character is far worse.
I kept having to remind myself that these were young folk. LOL. The pace is also too fast. I thought I'd speeded it up - when first listening to it. Sounds as if its narrated by an elderly school teacher - sweet - but elderly. Ruined the vision for a normally good read.

Oh the narration!

I've not written a review before, but I always enjoy Ms Sala's books. The narrator almost killed this one for me. Unfortunately she's also narrated the other two books in the series. Since it's a series, I will have to think hard before I decide how badly I want to know how it turns out.

Going Once

Very good book and you narraters. I have always liked books by Sharon Sala and will be reading more by her.

Horrible reader

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The story is very good, but the reader is terrible. I won't buy another book read by this same person. I really enjoy Sharon Sala's books, but I will be more careful next time.

What didn’t you like about Mary Kane’s performance?

She has an annoying intonation which detracts from the story line.

Any additional comments?

Please change readers.

Narrator Ruined a Good Book

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Yes, change the narrator; this one is awful. Why would you take the chance of using someone with no talent for story telling?

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked all

How could the performance have been better?

Different narrator

Could you see Going Once being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

no

Any additional comments?

no

Horrible Narration

I think the story might have been ok. Not up to Sharon Sala's usual standards - but acceptable. The narrator however was so bad that it was hard to tell. Doesn't anyone work with these readers - or check to see how they sound once they've recorded something? The inflections were terrible - the characters all sounded the same - old and scratchy and the flow of the narration was totaly off balance. If the next book in the series is read by the same narrator, I won't be trying to listen to it.

Not a good narrator...

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I like this author but will not buy another book with Mary Kane reading it...........

What would have made Going Once better?

A different narrator

What was one of the most memorable moments of Going Once?

don't want to give away any spoilers.....

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She was horrible and ruined the book for me!

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I am a huge Sharon Sala fan, and I had no issues with the story or how it was written, I would recommend the e-book or paperback to anyone! I would NOT recommend the audible version as I could not stand the narrator

Any additional comments?

please do not use that narrator again
