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 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.

Okay

Okay the story was good but I could do without all that back-and-forth with the past and present it was just took much . But enjoyed the audible..

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.

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.

Great Psychological Puzzle

I was very entertained by this story. My attention was riveted from the opening paragraphs, and I found it hard to drag myself away to complete necessary tasks. Even though the tale jumped from events which happened in the past to what was going on in the character's present, I thought the format added to the suspense of the story. I felt for Amy Price and all that she endured. I respected her determination. I enjoyed Candace Fitzgerald's narration as I thought 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.

Thrills and suspense!

This is an interesting and intense thriller story!
Amy Price was previously in the British Army
and had saved a fellow soldier’s life. 12 years later, Amy is face to face with the man she saved. She’s surprised to find out that he is being charged for the murder of an Army Doctor that previously cared for both of them.
This story has good character development, and I like the multiple POV. Hearing about the past army situations, and also the present day life situations, kept the book extra interesting.
I really enjoyed all of the twists and surprises that the book offered. The story is fast paced and kept me totally engaged!

I was lucky to get an audio version of this book and the narrator is fantastic!!
*This story is out now, and is a fantastic read!!*

A fun listen...

This gripped me from the very start … and while it didn’t maintain that pace/grippiness, I remained hooked due to a likable character. And wow, has she been through it! So many prospective triggers for readers / life-altering experiences for her.

Ab0rtion.
Infertility.
B0mbings.
Su!cide attempts.
Smexual harassment.

To name a few.

This read is, I believe, intended to be mysterious. While I do find everything predictable and unoriginal, I mostly enjoyed the dynamics. I like when a book blends police procedural with a bit of cozy by having an amateur be the main person shown to be sleuthing.

Mostly a fun read.

3.5 stars.

🎧 Audio:
Fantastic audio, totally clean production overall with good narration. 4 stars.
