Jinx

By: Jessica Huntley

Who would you believe is capable of murder: the man you almost married or the man whose life you saved?

British soldier, Aimee Price, is hailed as a hero for saving a man’s life. But traumatic flashbacks of the explosion, and a loss of confidence, force her to hide from the limelight.

Twelve years later, Jones, the man she saved, is arrested for a murder he claims he didn’t commit. Can she believe him when she has a history with the victim and Jones has a tendency for violence?

Aimee must discover the truth, even if it means losing her job, all while trying to live a normal life and start dating again.

But can she put the past behind her, even when it’s determined to destroy her by opening old wounds?

loved it

While this is not like the other Jessica Huntley books I've read, I found the story just as gripping. What started out as a slow story following a veteran hero in a sleepy town turns into something twisted. I enjoyed the switching timelines and characters, although it got confusing at times listening to it. Overall, I really enjoyed this story, and I found myself rooting for the main characters.

Loved this book, amazing book to listen to. Very enjoyable and easy to understand. The narrator does a really good job with this book. Overall excellent book to listen to.

a great murder mystery !

JINX is a fast-paced gripping thriller, with a dual timelime, dual pov (both first person and third-person).
Apart from a great murder mystery, jinx also talks about PTSD and how veterans cope with their trauma.
Some avid thriller readers might not enjoy the romance part of the book, but on the contrary I think it was necessary for aimee's character-development. It shows that she is working on herself, trying to let go of all her barriers, fears etc. (I'm also a sucker for romance so 🤷‍♀️).

A Four 1/2 star read

Jinx: Your next unputdownable thriller that's action-packed from the first page, my sixth read from author Jessica Huntley. A dark 370-page read with more twists than a Gordianian knot yet was impossible to put down. After reading The Murder Maze last week I knew I had to read more Huntley books. I already have more on my TBR list. “I received a complementary Kindle copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I look forward to reading more from this author with Under Her Skin: a killer psychological thriller next. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Unputdownable

"Your next unputdownable thriller." is right. I couldn't put it down! It bounced between past and present with some chapters ending on little cliffhangers. The characters were interesting. The plot was complicated and mysterious.

The narrator was excellent. She presented the characters great. Her male voices were believable. I highly recommend this one.

Murder mystery who did it

Jinx by Jessica Huntley is a wonderful thrilling suspicious mystery. Candace Fitzgerald did a wonderful job with the narration, and bringing the story to life. The story is entertaining, interesting, thrilling, engaging, suspicious, mysterious, a little romantic, action packed, and shines light on mental health. There are tiggers in the story like attempting suicide, PTSD, depression, murder, abortion, and others. So if you can’t handle or can’t deal without it don’t read. Aimee Price saved a man who later was accused of murder. Did he do it? Can Aimee find out who did before it’s too late? Listen to find out.

Attention Grabbibg

I loved everything about this. The narrator was fantastic. The story was gripping and intense. I loved the characters too. Even Jones who came across as shady and grumpy sometimes. I can’t recommend this enough.

A profound, enduring story

Received as an audio review copy from Story Origin, this is an honest review. Performed eloquently by Candace Fitzgerald, Jinx is a fiery, harrowing story. Moving seamlessly between the past when Aimee Price serve in the british military and the present as she struggles to handle the trauma of an unexpected experience that shattered her life in a mirad of ways. After discovering the tragic death of a military doctor Aimee once found comfort in as she was putting her broken mind back together; Aimee struggles to accept the man she saved on the battlefield could have murdered him. The haunting truth is for more disturbing than Aimee could have realized.


Highly recommended.

good narrator, average story

Audiobook review 5.0: I did enjoy the narrator. She had good voice inflections. It was difficult to keep up with now and then chapters occasionally on the audible.

Story review 3.5: I was expecting a psychological thriller but this wasn't one. I did enjoy the story although I had figured out a few of the twists before they were revealed. I found it hard to believe the omissions Aimee made on her job application were not discovered immediately. I also found it annoying she lied about the weirdest things.

The military story was interesting and was told well. I also enjoyed her friendship relationship with her girlfriends.
