Publisher's summary

THE PERFECT FAMILY

Sheila O'Rourke has always known her husband isn't perfect. Who is? But things have been better since they moved to Seattle to make a fresh start. So much so that when 16-year-old Eden turns up, claiming to be Dylan's child by another woman, Sheila tries to be welcoming.

CAN BECOME

At first, Sheila feels sympathy for the girl. Eden's mother recently fell to her death in an incident with unsettling parallels to Sheila's past. Still, Eden is a difficult house guest, sowing discord among the family. Sheila has already been on edge for weeks, receiving anonymous texts, noticing odd noises coming from the house next door. And that's just the start.

A PERFECT NIGHTMARE

Sheila wants to trust Dylan. She wants to feel safe in her own home. But no one can hurt you more easily than the ones closest to you...the ones you keep believing until it's too late....

Narrator was unbearable

The story was pretty good, but the narrator made it so difficult to listen to. Her voice was a constant whine and pleading. You couldn’t even tell what needed emphasis.

Started out slow

The narrator was definitely not good at the beginning, though she got a bit better along the way. The plot was a bit slow as well picking up around the middle. Overall all it was a decent listen.

Great story

Horrible narration! There were times when it was very difficult to take in the narration. I love the story itself but lawks, the narrator…

Kept me guessing

Just when I thought I knew who the antagonist was…
I love the twists and turns and hope there is a follow up book!

Good story, awful narrative

Story line was really good but I had a really hard time with the narrator. She sounded like she was too dramatic; like she was trying too hard

Creates fear of cheaters for sure!

The art of writing and creating a true feeling of any sort is talent!
The fear became real !
It takes talent to evoke raw anger and emotion in a fictional setting.
Great job!
Hope I don’t have nightmares believing something like this could be true.

I Enjoyed This Book

I really enjoyed this book! The story was good and kept you guessing. Lots of twists. I loved the characters.
Though the narrator was not the best I’ve heard, she was not the worst by any means! The people saying it ruined the book have no idea what a bad narrator sounds like. She was a little over the top at times but did both male and female voices very well. The narrator seems to be the most talked about part of the book. Don’t let the comments deter you from listening! It’s a good book.

On your toes

Kept you on your toes from start to finish. Will make you think twice about one-night stands if you’re into that sort of thing. Good narrator also.
