Spectacular story with a real life audio design!

I found myself captivated by the characters and overall narrative in general. I’ve never experienced such an immersive audio design while listening to an audio book. Sound effects, music, narration, character voices, this was an action packed crime story that really does hold you interest.

There was a moment in private ivy that I felt robbed of a story moment! However, thanks to the brilliance of the structure we late revisit that moment and I got my closure. It really is great and I like that we really get a sense of our main character. Even though she is young she is well beyond her years and relatable. The writer really allows you the reader to see the world through her eyes which I fully appreciated. I definitely recommend!!!

Captivating!

This is very captivating. You won’t be able to stop listening! An experience unlike other audiobooks.

FANTASTIC STORYTELLING!!!

Wow, this audiobook was insane. The music, sound fx, great actors (the characters were so well developed by writer and performer alike!) and TONS of action. It's a feast for your ears! Good thing another is on its way because my ears are hungry for more!

Best Audiobook Ever!!

Forget anything you know about audiobooks: Private Ivy breaks breaks all the rules... in the best way possible! Your ears will thank you! I've never experienced a book like this. I'm an avid reader and I travel a lot, so audiobooks are a go to for my road trips... and when I started listening to Private Ivy, I knew I was in for something complete different.
The narrator, cast and musical score (yes, I said musical score) were unlike anything I've listened to. The storyline was fun and developed, and the characters were deep and evolving.
I'm very excited to read the rest of this series by Steven Cortinas. It's part comic book with villains and super heroes, it's part suspense with a who done it feel, and all around it feels like you're watching a movie with your eyes closed ; unless you're driving, keep your eyes on the road! I like that it doesn't lend itself to one genre. Like I said, Private Ivy breaks all the rules!
