I love Beverly Barton but…

I have read a lot of Bev’s books and love them. But this one has been my least favorite by FAR. It doesn’t help that the narrator’s tone throughout the book was just off, but the whole storyline this time around sounded very far fetched. Hoping the rest in the Griffin Powell series are better

from Alabama or California

All the character voices sound like surfers. Good book though. I would for sure recommend.

clocked it 🕵‍♀️✅️

sneaky sneaky 😏 almost didn't get it right. what a great story. loved figuring out the details and relation to the characters. also f**k George.

so-so

Not my favorite narrator... sometimes the emphasis is really in the wrong place. or imho, just doesn't make sense.

I also get really tired of everyone being referred to by complete first & last names. legit the book could be an hour shorter it it wasn't always Quinn Cortez and Annabel Vanderlay.

I (mostly) enjoyed the ("free") Cherokee Point books... but not sure I'll spend more credits on this series.

Good story, narrator was absolutely awful.

The story had some nice cliffhangers that surprised me. The characters are completely unrealistic and I felt like I was reading the lines from a soap opera. This narrator was the worst I’ve heard on Audible since listening for ten years!!! She sounds like one of my daughters when the were 16, with a horrible vocal fry or valley girl accent. It annoyed the hell out of me the entire book.
