Suspenseful mystery

This was a very good and well written story. I listened to the audible version, and it was done very well. The characters are well described. I usually like to guess who the murderer is in the first or second chapters. I have to say I missed it on this one. Who the bad guy was. It was enjoyable, looking forward to reading the next one in the series.

I was doubtful due to reviews, BUT

This story was absolutely gripping. The narrator(s) were a little weird and hard to get used to at first, but the story itself got so good I stopped paying attention. I found myself having a hard time getting out of my car and back to reality a few times.

really great flow

a really good story that didn't drag out and it all came together in the end.

liked it

This book was not what I expected. I have been reading LAW'S crime fiction stuff and this one is more like...romance with a veneer of crime fiction...up until around the 75% mark when it hits the ground running. That said, I still really enjoyed it (though I do wish LAW didn't write every character like a walking dictionary..."inexorably" was super prevalent, as was "poignant" & even pugnacious made an appearance).

Good

Only issue with this book was the female narrator, she was a little whiny. But don't let that stop you from reading it!

This was a great read!!

The title of this story alone got my attention. It made me wonder if it would be a good story. It was. This story has many layers to it. The layers are all woven together. You began to see that the plot thickens. It's not just a basic plot. And as the story unfolds. You began to see all is not as it seems in a good and bad way as far as the characters are concern. How they all connect ultimately. It's quite an suspense and romance novel. Check it out!

Kept my interest

I have enjoyed this book as much as Dark lure. I will definitely get other books written by Loreth Anne White . The narrators were good narrating the story.

I laughed to much

So the narration of this book had me cracking up way to much. Tanya sometimes sounds like a child when she talks but she did a good job. Alexander has me rolling. His voice is so intense. So different from Tanya. He sounds totally different when he speaks his character vs hers expression of him. And sometimes when he talks, he’s like Italian mob, and then he’s like Australian and then he’s intense again. And when he makes a Rachel’s voice...🤣 I just can’t stop laughing. They really did do a good job. But I found the book kinda amusingly funny. And it’s not suppose to be I don’t think.🤷🏼‍♀️ a smile is always a good thing though ❤️ it was definitely a romance

loss of sleep

Loved the story. Great plot and characters. I listen alot before bedtime. Difficulty stopping

Ok

Not terrible, the end was good. I just hate a man impersonating a female voice, puts me right off.
