“This truly unique premise snowballs into a roller-coaster ride of page-turning suspense and knock-out twists!”—Freida McFadden, author of The Housemaid

In seven days, Jet Mason will be dead.

Jet is the daughter of one of the wealthiest families in Woodstock, Vermont. Twenty-seven years old and back home, she’s still waiting for her life to begin. I’ll do it later, she always says. She has time.

Until Halloween night, when she is violently attacked by an unseen intruder, suffering a catastrophic head injury. Doctors are certain that within a week, the injury will trigger a fatal aneurysm.

As her condition deteriorates, she reconnects with her childhood friend Billy, the only one willing to help her. With Billy at her side, she’s absolutely determined to finally finish something:

Jet is going to solve her own murder.

Ridiculous Narration

I couldn’t get through the first chapter with the narrator which is very unusual for me. I’m going to try to read it, but the narration is so distracting I couldn’t listen anymore.

horrible narration. Read this one instead of listening

The narration made the voices whiny and unbearable. It was hard to get through. Wish I would have read it instead.

Gutted

Wow, just WOW
SOOO GOOD please get past the voice for Billy it sounded like a 12 year old … and really the only issue I had with the story…. Loved everyone especially Jett and Billy inspite of that dumb voice

You will never guess who did it

Great story, great reader, a really different twist and several mysteries to solve that you will not be able to figure out. Highly recommend this listen.

Twists & turns

So many twists and turns. What I like about it was the premise- completely fresh and well done.

not quite dead yet by Holly Jackson

this was a great book I loved it. Great storyline, it's a great young crime story. I definitely would recommend this book.

Meh

The storyline itself was ok; it held my interest. But the narrator just ruined the whole thing for me.

So twisty, shocking ending

Narrator was not great. The voices were really annoying and not how anyone actually speaks ever. The book itself was fantastic though. Definitely think you should just read it instead of listening

Loved!!

Loved! Not at all what I was expecting. Thought this book was so well crafted and developed. Lots of reviews negatively depict the narration- I actually loved it and thought it captured the essence of Jett and Billy really well. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

What would you do if you had 1 week to live?

Holly Jackson has done it again! Kept me on the edge of my seat at every chapter.
