Excellent suspense mystery for teens!

I enjoyed this short novel. The plot is not very complex and the characters are few in number. It is a nice quick listen with really good narration.

scooby doo

I enjoyed the beginning of this book, but it quickly became a Scooby Doo mystery.

Fast Paced and Easy to listen to

This was a surprisingly interesting read. Held my attention and had limited characters so it was very easy to listen to.

It was good but could have been much better.

I liked the premise of the book but some of the issues with the plot and the capabilities of the characters jarred me out of the story. For example, the lead character apparently gained enough proficiency in kung fu in two months of training to overcome a grown man even though she was severely traumatized and injured. I know quite a few martial arts students with years of training that I doubt could do that. There were also a few implausibility issues for me in the plot but I was able to overlook those too. Overall a good clean book that I enjoyed but I think it could have been really good, if not great, with better editing.

Interesting, Succint Mystery

I listened to this on audio, and it was a well narrated, fast paced story. The premise was interesting and kept you guessing until the end. Although it was short for a book in the thriller genre, the author was able to tell the story in a concise way without it feeling rushed or missing details. I would definitely try this author again.
