De: A J Wills

Narrado por: Alister Austin, Bronwen Price

He stole her childhood. Now she wants it back.

Mara Sitwell was only 11 when she went missing. Nineteen years later, she’s been found wandering through remote woodland, alone and confused. She says she’s been kept in an underground cell for all these years - but refuses to reveal anything about the man who snatched her. What does she have to hide? And who’s she protecting? Her brother-in-law, Damian, certainly doubts she’s telling the whole truth and fears she might even be a danger to his young children, especially when his wife insists on moving Mara into their home. To save his family, Damian will have to prove what really happened to Mara all those years ago. But the truth is never easy to uncover when it’s been buried so deep....

Great story but terrible narration

I enjoyed this story. It has twists and was compelling. I wanted to know what was going to happen next and kept listening continuously. However, I hate to be a mean person but the male narrator’s voice was like fingernails scraping a chalkboard to me. I don’t know if that was his natural voice or if he was trying too hard. If it wasn’t his natural voice I would recommend trying to sound more natural. It seemed like he spoke in an exaggerated manner that was annoyingly drawn out at the end of each sentence.

Just okay

I really likes the female narrator but did not care for the male narrator. I kept expecting one more big twist to blow me away but it never happened.

Narration was good.

This could have been a great book, but left lots unanswered. Character development wasn’t great. Overall, worth listening to since it was included, but just a meh for me.

The story was captivating.

The story grabbed my attention almost immediately. However, the narrator for the book was all wrong in my opinion. He always sounded overly excited in the face of what should have been devastating news, in fact, no matter what he always sounded excited. And he was not great at doing other voices... it was so annoying.

Now, as far as the story goes, it seemed a little like a first book. The author often contradicted themself or answered a question before it was asked and then the question was asked. It was a little parochial. But, please, form your own opinion. I did enjoy the story and was surprised by the ending.

Gripping

I listened to this book in less that 3 days!
It was very good…. However, it ends with not knowing which story is true… Damien’s or Mara’s!!!
Still held my attention!!!!
