The Girl Who Survived

De: Lisa Jackson

Narrado por: Siiri Scott

In this deviously volatile, deliciously creepy standalone suspense novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson, the sole survivor of a brutal family massacre must uncover the shocking truth about the fateful night that left her forever marked…

Has she already had her final chance to be the final girl?

All her life, she’s been the girl who survived. Orphaned at age seven after a horrific killing spree at her family’s Oregon cabin, Kara McIntyre is still searching for some kind of normal. But now, twenty years later, the past has come thundering back. Her brother, Jonas, who was convicted of the murders, has unexpectedly been released from prison. The press is in a frenzy again. And suddenly, Kara is receiving cryptic messages from her big sister, Marlie—who hasn’t been seen or heard from since that deadly Christmas Eve when she hid little Kara in a closet with a haunting, life-saving command: Don’t make a sound.

As people close to her start to die horrible deaths, Kara, who is slowly and surely unraveling, believes she is the killer’s ultimate target.

Kara survived once. But will she survive again? How many times can she be the girl who survived?

Repetition, Repetition, Repetition

The author's excessive use of character discussions to summarize the story became tiresome. Another reviewer suggested reading only the first three and last three chapters, which essentially captures everything. Save your time. With a different execution, it could have been a compelling story. Pun intended.

Story line good. Over written

Lots of repetition of words and sentences. Over explaining. Recap done by the officers unnecessary.

3rd person

Didn’t enjoy the 3rd person approach. Is hard to follow as character switch. Took a while to get to the good stuff. The murderer was not expected.

Horror

Only Lisa Jackson can make each chapter full of suspense, suspects, suspicious, and keep you guessing till the climax ending. Heart wrenching and excellent book.

Great book!

This was a great book. First time reading Lisa Jackson, but definitely not the last!

Not much depth

The story was a good idea, but the characters and details were shallow. Lots of unnecessary info while very little actual details to give depth.

Great book

Excellent reader
Great story line
Enjoyed the suspense
Recommend the book for everyone to listen to

Too much repetition….

Good story line but too long and too much repetition. I liked the twist and turns.

not my favorite, annoying characters

The main character is childish and annoying. I spent most of the book fussing at her antics.

I don't exactly know what to say!!

I love Lisa Jackson but this book wasn't the best of the best. It was good with the exception of overusing adjectives and adverbs. I am not a writer but as a reader/listener there is times when over use of description can be frustrating and this was one of those times. I still recommend the book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery but be prepared for the frustration. The main character was beyond annoying at times but that's the way the story goes. I wasn't shocked by the ending but the story line held my interest.
