Wow! Could not turn it off.

Beautifully written and narrated, this suspenseful mystery had me hooked before I finished listening to the first chapter. The cast members are well developed. narrators superb. I could barely wait to get to the end and hear how the leftover loose ends were woven together and at the same time not wanting it to ever end!

Couldn't stop listening. Great story.

This audiobook was so interesting I listened to the whole thing in one day. Yes, I may have missed some important interactions ("I'll find out what casserole to bring to the funeral tomorrow, right now I'm listening to a book") but that's beside the point.

Totally loved this audiobook!

I love listening to audiobooks as I work around the house and yard, doing things like cleaning and weeding. To give you an idea of just how much I loved this one, I chose to clean my microwave oven and all the grease that had accumulated on top just to give myself an excuse to listen to the ending when I could have been relaxing. The story was fantastic and told in a way that constantly had you wondering. It evoked emotions of anger, fear, and love. The performances were realistic and added to the drama. H.B. Moore is definitely one of my favorite authors and I hope to read or listen to all of her books!

Fabulous

I am not a big suspense reader... but this was awesome! I loves the narrators and the storyline was so crazy good! HB Moore is just so clever!

Good Thriller

Good psychological thriller, with plenty of twist. The narration was superb adding to the plot. Hidden strength of Jess was good the main character. Have read other books by this author and they have all been good.
Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

No Brotherly Love

When a police officer opens a case considered closed it changes the lives of those considered guilty and those presumed to be victims. Jess has been institutionalized for a decade for murdering her parents. Now it appears that possibly her brother, her former boyfriend, or both committed the crime. The chapters alternate between Jess and her doctor, giving you insight into all the characters. I was gifted this from the author.

A great psychological thriller

This is a suspense by Heather B. Moore do I need to say anything else? You do not want to start this book at night because you'll keep reading until you fall asleep (if you can) or until you finish the book. I did not want to stop reading this story. Yes, I say that EVERY TIME, but that's because the author is so good at keeping me engrossed in the story I HAVE TO KNOW what happens!

The chapters are told in alternating viewpoints of Jessica (Jess), a young woman who's been in a facility for the past 9 years for killing her parents, and Logan, the psychiatrist who takes over her care. This is when things get very interesting.

I hate when I can't say much in a review without giving anything away, but this is a great story which will hold your interest. The characters are well written. Logan is a wonderful and caring psychiatrist who only wants the best for his patients, and his receptionist/assistant seems very interesting. I like how the author describes her outfits.

I wasn't happy with the way the characters end up because I love happily ever after endings. I understand why it ended the way it did, but I still wasn't happy. I wish there had been a prologue showing Jessica a few years later. I know she's a fictional character but I want a truly happy ending for her.

I really liked the dual narration, both narrators did a superb job.

Great psychological thriller

This is one of those books that grabbed my attention from the beginning till the end. I do agree with another reviewer that the romance part was totally unnecessary for the plot. Also, the book could have ended earlier than it had. I liked the plot twists and suspense.

About the narrators, I like Steve West's performance, but next to Karissa Vacker , he sounded robotic. Her British accents were way better than his American accents. I always prefer one narrator books and in this case, it would have made the experience much better.

A great Thriller!

What a powerful and great thriller Breaking Jess was. The narrators Steve West and Karissa Vacker took H.B.’s words come to life. This excellent piece will blow you away. Not remembering the death of her parents she is sent to a mental institution faced with the knowledge she was reasonable for the deaths. Not till a new Doctor comes on her case does the truth start to come out. This one will keep you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend not just the audio but also the book! I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
