About this listen
An Audible Best Mystery and Thriller Audiobook of 2023
In this chilling story from the bestselling author of The Secret Mother, it’s the wedding day of Alice’s dreams. Until it becomes a nightmare…
Alice and Seth are a perfect love story: the handsome doctor and his beautiful fiancée. They’re wealthy, well liked and made for each other—the envy of all their friends. Alice can’t wait for the day of their dream wedding. But when she arrives at the altar, she doesn’t recognise the man waiting to marry her.
When this stranger insists he’s Seth, her husband-to-be, the entire congregation seems to agree. Even her parents try to persuade Alice to go through with the wedding.
As panic sets in, Alice’s world comes apart. Where is the real Seth, and why have all traces of him disappeared from her life? Fearing she’s losing her mind, she sets out to uncover the truth and escape the nightmare she’s living in. But with everyone around her convinced by the fake Seth, how can she ever hope to find the man she loves?

The day I was told I’d never be able to have a child, my world came crashing down. My husband says he still loves me, but I lie awake at night, wishing we could have a family. One morning, my husband’s side of the bed is cold and empty. I hear a noise and head downstairs. In the middle of the rug in my living room is a wooden drawer. Swaddled inside, with perfect rosy cheeks and beautiful round blue eyes, a baby gazes up at me.

All drummer Vienna Taylor ever wanted was to make music. If that came with fame, she’d take it—as long as her best friend, guitarist Madison Pierce, was sharing the spotlight and singing lead. And with their new all-female pop rock band gaining traction, soon everyone would hear their songs… Except, on the way to an event, the Bittersweet’s van careened off an icy mountain road during a blizzard—leaving one member dead and another severely injured. In order to survive the frigid night, the rest took shelter in a nearby abandoned cabin.

Left Me Feeling Unsatisfied
First of all, Katie Villa’s narration performances ALWAYS deliver! Her voice is soothing and wonderful, and her narration of this book was excellent! Additionally, I love Shalini Boland’s work, and I have listened to pretty much all of her work that is available on Audible. That being said, this particular book left something to be desired. I was shocked when the book was over! I kept thinking that some chapters were accidentally skipped or something, but I was wrong. It felt like the story was rushed and the ending was rushed as well. There could have been much more character development and backstory in this book that was completely left out. Typically, with Shalini Boland’s work, I am left feeling fulfilled and satisfied, but this book left me feeling underwhelmed.

Aggravating
It’s hard to dislike a book, and I’m easily entertained. However, I’m left frustrated and aggravated with myself for continuing to listen. I wanted to slap the mealy-mouthed heroine (if that’s what you want to call her). She jumps in and out of relationships like I change my underwear. Shallow characters and weak, unbelievable story line. Narrator did well though. Kept me listening.

Ms. Boland proves yet again why she’s one of the best. This was by far my favorite read this year, beating out BA Paris - The Guest. I loved all the characters and the way the author loves to keep you guessing …. UNTIL THE VERY LAST SECOND. 10 Stars from me
