New author, but will stick around

I was sent this audiobook by it’s author in exchange for an honest review. From the beginning with the set-up, I was hooked. I love a good hostage scene in the beginning of a book.

I thought the story played out really nicely. By the end of the book, I was honestly surprised by who the killer was.

If you’re looking for a quick thriller from an indie author, with empowered women (written by a male ally), and a likable mother/daughter team, definitely check this book out!

I will say that the narrator was my least favorite part of the audiobook though. It did not sound as if she had decent recording equipment and there were moments when I was really caught off by the mouth sounds and breathing she was doing. I was also not a fan of the voices she used for all the characters. For the killer, it sounded muffled. For Julia, she sounded too chipper, and I did not enjoy the semi-seductive (but I’m a cool mom) voice she attempted for Brandi. I’m sure she’s a great narrator, but not for this book.

Well done

While it was a great story and I did enjoy it, I found some of the dialogue between characters a little stiff. The ending was very well done. The last line...chills!

Outstanding!!!

Omg! Unbelievable! This was mindblowing. I had chill bumps listening to this. The last sentence was really a psych out. Suspenseful, gripping , and intense. I didn't see any of it coming. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

Powerless

This was a really good book.I enjoyed the storylineNarration by Kathryn Mockerman was mostly good.Sometimes it was too slow or weirdly read. I was given this book free for an honest review.

narrator did awesome

The narrator did an awesome job keeping the characters seperated as far as voices Great job Kathryn

Suspenseful!

This is an entertaining thriller, suspenseful, intense, and enthralling. Kathryn Mockerman did a good job bringing this story to life.

Story is good but narrator not so much

Like the story but the narrator isn’t the best and she needs a better recording device.

Who's that thriller in the neighborhood?

Enjoyable thriller set in a tightknit community. Long stretches of everyday life, which might not suit some readers, but helps build the atmosphere. Narrator has a pleasant voice.

Bazinga

This was a fun story with great narration. I enjoyed the quick pace that made this book an easy one sitting read. The narrator was able to give each character a distinct voice and that was a nice touch.

Disclaimer: My enjoyment of the narrator is based on my listening speed. I only leave 5 stars for books I've listened to or will listen to multiple times.

I requested this book from the author, narrator, or publisher in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
