Don't Breathe a Word: A Novel

The author kept me guessing til the very end on this one. A truly engaging and enthralling read!

Just when you think you completely understand what's going on, a kink gets thrown into the plot and you start to doubt everything you know so far. It's an addicting mystery and it kept me lying on the cough listening to what was supposed to be entertainment for my commute.

I haven't heard her other performances, but she does a great job. Nothing ruins a book more than a bad narrator- Lily Rains gave all the characters their own voice, and the overall narrative a great delivery.

Lisa, hands down. I still can't decide if there was a supernatural element to the book or not , but I do want to reach into that book and take that girl somewhere safe. Both Lisa and Evie- it's one of those stories where you start out witnessing the train wreck and spend the rest of it wanting to let everyone know what's waiting for them if they keep on.

I wish the ending were different, the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars, but the rest of the book was great, and my thoughts on the ending aren't negative enough to stop me from recommending it.

It had such potential, and it WAS a good listen. I loved the narrator, she did her best to find distinct voices for the characters, never being annoying, even with the children and the men. (Often a female narrator has a hard time with male voices)

The story was enchanting at first, really bringing you back to being a kid and believing in mysteries and fairy tales. But it went back and forth between NOW and 15 years ago and I guess I wanted the NOW to wrap up more realistically. It had some twists I didn't see coming, and I liked that and it DID open the door for a sequel. Overall, a good listen with an excellent narrator.

The ending....I dont like that "left hanging" feeling at the end of a book!

I have not listened to, but I have read "Promise Not to Tell" and "The Island of Lost Girls" and really enjoyed them. They ended with complete and surprising explanations!

Yes, because I need to find out if Phoebe is crazy and made all this up in her head or if someone really switched her baby!

A great yarn, an eerie page-turner that's right on the mark. I have made the mistake of listening mainly to so-called intellectual type books -- the types often picked by book clubs (though I'm not in a book club myself). A lot of those books really are worthwhile, but I'm glad I took the plunge and got the chance to enjoy a truly fun thriller that didn't want it to end! Get this book if you like a little fright & mystery.

This was an easy to listen to story with an engaging plot. The narrator does a solid job and the story kept me guessing and had a nice twist at the end.

Understand this is a 1st book by the author. If so, it is especially terrific. Couldn't stop until I had finished. Perfect scary level. I hope there are many, many more to come from this writer.
