The List

De: Kiersten Modglin

Narrado por: Jennifer Jill Araya, David Bendena, Michael Crouch

Ten years ago, the small town of Bates, South Carolina, was changed forever with the appearance of a slip of paper. Six names. Six people set to die. Six months later, they were gone. But the list maker was far from done with their town.

Like clockwork, new lists come out every six months. To keep their names off of them, the citizens go to extraordinary lengths and keep terrifying secrets. Someone is controlling their town. But who? And, most importantly, why?

When Connor and Jordyn Atwood move to Bates, they see firsthand how far their new neighbors are willing to go to protect themselves. Will the Atwoods succumb to their newfound surroundings? Or will they fight to protect the town they now call their home?

With everything at stake and no one to trust, the Atwoods quickly learn the list maker has one important rule: Do what you’re told...or find your name on The List.

Absolutely Outstanding!

Wow!! This was one of the BEST books!! Great storyline & as always a shocking twist! Kiersten Modglin hit it out of the park with this one!

Modglin DID IT AGAIN!!!

Dear All:
I’m not a reviewer with passion to share and/or overshare. In spite of my daily tasks as a professor, I’m an extreme introvert with a huge love for great story lines, filled with twists, that would take me to my happy place of READING without reading :) My vision has declined badly recently so I’m LOVING this vehicle of “audiobooks”. Thus; I have been reading books of Kiersten Modglin for a few years by now. Kiersten is ONE OF THE ONLY AUTHORS who NEVER DISAPPOINTS. Having said all that: This book may start off on a rather sensitive topic for parents but honestly: it cannot be closer to real life experiences that all our kids (and we) had to go through throughout our journey of life. YOU WILL NOT REGRET utilizing your one credit for this spectacular story which is executed with great narration and delivered with the most unexpected ending. Thank you: Kiersten. I admire your talents beyond words :)

Fantastic

I thought this book was great except that it did get a little bit too long. It sort of reminded me of the lottery by Shirley Jackson, but went beyond that which was really enjoyable.

So good!

This was an amazing story which is no shocker with this author! Unpredictable and kept me guessing, I loved this book. The the voices of both Jordan and "him" were good and seemed on point with the characters. This is a must have title!

Interesting if you suspend your disbelief

NO spoilers here. The story is interesting and reminds me of a few books and movies I've seen that had similar plot lines. In those other books and movies, I was willing to suspend my disbelief because they weren't 100% realistic, and I did the same with this book. I was looking for thriller fiction, and that's exactly what I got.

I didn't particularly feel any attachment to any of the characters, but maybe that's because I listened to the entire book in one day and didn't get any downtime to think about them. The female protagonist was a bit too dramatic at several points in the book, and there were many times when I thought, "Just get to the point already!" when she and others were speaking.

Throughout the book I often thought, "This wouldn't happen in real life," and I had to keep casting aside those thoughts. We all watch shows and moves where unrealistic events occur, yet we enjoy those videos. The same can be said about books, including this one. I did enjoy the audiobook despite the unrealistic story.

Good solid suspenseful mystery.

I loved the build up of the story and character development. The end was very twisty and I didn’t see that coming, so I loved that! I thought the performance was pretty good throughout most of the story until the last 1/4 of the book. The narration seemed overly dramatic and every character seemed to be hyper emotional.

I finished in one sitting!

This was a really good book that I just could not put down! It alternated from the POV of Jordyn and Him (the list maker and murderer). Oooh, and I just knew my suspicions were spot on as to who was behind the lists, but needles to say, I was wrong. I don't think anyone would ever guess correctly because once revealed, I was beyond shocked. If you're looking for a great book that grabs and keeps your attention, this is the one!

Crazy and Twisted

This is a disturbing story line that you need to have the stomach for because it involves children. The ending was a twist I never expected!

Unrealistic

Terrible book. Overly dramatic and un unrealistic. drug on and on and became very annoying. Could not finish the last three hours.
