Publisher's summary

Five teenage girls have been murdered. One survived, and only she can reveal the secrets of a disturbing ring of people who kidnap and sell teenage girls on the black market. But those responsible for the crimes will do whatever it takes to maintain her silence.

Susannah Vartanian and Luke Papadopoulos have both sworn to stop the murderers for their own reasons. Susannah suffers from a mysterious past that is connected to the sinister black market. Luke is an investigative agent and a computer expert who refuses to let another child predator get away.

Susannah and Luke are instantly attracted to each other, but their troubled pasts prevent them from immediately acting upon their feelings. The case will lead them to the shady realm of Internet chat rooms, where anyone can mask their identity. As Susannah and Luke draw closer to the criminals, they discover a chain of deception so intricate they don't know who to trust. Susannah and Luke find comfort in one another's arms, but the killers are ruthless and determined, and will take extreme measures to insure their anonymity and keep their business intact.

Critic reviews

"Best-seller Rose concludes her thriller trilogy that began with Scream for Me and Die for Me with a bang....Rose juggles a large cast, a huge body count and a complex plot with terrifying ease. The sweet romance between Luke and Susannah provides welcome relief from the many scenes of brutality." ( Publishers Weekly)

the NARRATOR'S voice....

the NARRATOR'S voice of Luke and all males is autrocious, had I not spent actual $$$ I would had stopped listening

poor reader

Tavia Gilbert simply lack the ability to create voices for this many characters. Most sound either out of breath or in pain! Her poor reading detracts dramatically from what could be a decent novel.

SCREAM FOR ME - PART TWO

I PURCHASED THIS BASED ON PREVIOUS REVIEWS. WHEN I BEGAN TO LISTEN TO IT I FELT LIKE I HAD NOT DOWNLOADED THE BEGINING OF THE BOOK. THIS BOOK IS THE 3RD IN A SERIES. TO FULLY UNDERSTAND AND ENJOY THE STORYLINE YOU MUST READ THE 2CD BOOK IN THE SERIES "SCREAM FOR ME". THIS BOOK SHOULD BE TITLED "SCREAM FOR ME THE CONCLUSION". AFTER DOWNLOADING THIS AND FEELING CONFUSED. I WENT BACK AND READ THE DESCRIPTION AND REVIEWS AGAIN. I THEN PURCHASED "SCREAM" AND LISTENED TO IT FIRST, THEN LISTENED TO THIS BOOK. IT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. I WOULD NOT HAVE UNDERSTOOD "KILL FOR ME" AND WOULD HAVE FELT LIKE THE STORY WAS INCOMPLETE IN THE "SCREAM FOR ME" BOOK IF I HADN'T READ BOTH BOOKS. THEY ARE 2 PARTS OF THE SAME PLOT. THESE 2 BOOKS SHOULD BE READ BACK TO BACK. IF YOU WANT TO GET REALLY INVESTED READ THE 1ST BOOK. THIS WAS A GOOD STORY, A LITTLE TOO VIOLENT AND CONVOLUTED AT TIMES BUT OVERALL WORTH THE 2 CREDITS (BOTH BOOKS), FOR A 30 HOUR THRILLER . I WOULD GIVE IT A 3.75

Epic!

This was a roller coaster from start to finish. This subseries was EPIC. Karen Rose never disappoints.

great book murder kidnappings and love.

I didn't like that narrator for Luke. that voice was hideous.. a great listen ..

Great Book Awful Narration

This would be an amazing book if the narrator didn’t make Luke (the hero who’s supposed to be a big guy with quite the temper) sound like a mousey/nasally weakling. 😞

whinny reader makes book almost intolerable

It was impossible to enjoy this book because of the reader. Her female voices were okay .. but all her males sounded like pre-adolescents .. and everyone whined. The story went a bit long and there was an interminable list of characters and that it was much easy to get confused. Some of the "twists" in the plot were reminiscent of a very inexperienced writer .. or one who doesn't think her readers have ever heard a good book. I don't think this book recommends this author or narrator if you "read" a lot of good books.

Good tying-up

This third book is a must if you've read the other two. This book brings the entire story together. The only problem with this series is the narrator's lack of male voice. I think there are few people who could really relate to a high voiced hero.

Reader

The triology was very good but Gilbert does a poor job on the voices. Makes listening very difficult

Awful Narration

If you could sum up Kill for Me in three words, what would they be?

Awful, awful narration

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I could barely make it through because of the voice of the male lead. Sounded like a whiny old man.

Any additional comments?

This is the first review I've been moved to write. I would have turned the book back in if I wasn't invested through the first two books. I should have paid more attention to other reviews. Argh!
