De: R.M. Demeester

Narrado por: Ri Paige

When a second chance turns into something much more....

Piper Happ’s dead-end life turns into the ultimate nightmare when her roommate and upstairs neighbor are both murdered.

To further complicate things, Piper’s former best friend Nicolas is back in town. In high school, Piper would have done anything for him — until he moved across the country without warning or explanation. Against Piper’s better judgment, she seeks comfort and support from Nicolas, as she might be the killer’s next target.

He wants a second chance, but she isn’t sure she wants to risk a second heartbreak.

With a murderer on the loose, and danger lurking in every corner, is she putting just her heart in jeopardy - or her life, as well?

Interesting Thriller

This was my first R.M. Demeester's book. This is an interesting thriller. Piper and Nicolas's story is filled with danger, murders, secrets, and twists and turns. The characters are complex, and the plot is intriguing. Ri Paige did a good job with the narration.

It was a nice book

I listened to this book. The narrator did a pretty good job. I didn’t like piper she was pushover. She let everyone at work walk all over her but is short with her mom! I thought it way on too long about where she would stay now that my roommate was found dead. She is very emotional. 2 girls dead in the same apartment building. It was very pleasant to listen to.

Predictable but enjoyable.

This is one of those mystery novels that I find completely predictable. I enjoyed every bit of it, I wanted to see how things played out. But I had the basic mystery figured out early on.

The biggest complaint I have is the main character. Not only is she completely oblivious, but she’s also the type of person to throw a pity party for herself to then mope about how nobody showed up.

I can’t say more without spoilers, hell, even what I’ve said might spoil it if you don’t figure it out in the first hour.

The narrator of the audiobook is great. Her Canadian accent can be distracting at times, as she seemingly randomly puts extra emphasis on the letter o but doesn’t do it every time.

This was a bit slow moving and not the best read (listen)

I’m not exactly sure what it was about this book but I kept falling asleep. This book definitely has potential but I found it lacking. There was murder and suspense but it didn’t leave me on the edge of my seat. I’m up to trying another book by this author, in hopes that the writing gets better. I’m just grateful that I didn’t have to spend a credit of my own for this title.

Twisted

Wow, this is some kinda listen. Great narration - smooth and easy on the ears, doesn't distract from the storyline that is oh so twisted. Main character is Piper who to me comes across so entitled, selfish and immature. I really didn't like her - they attitude she has with her mom and bosses and the way she back talks would have gotten her no friends where I'm from but when she meets back up with her former best friend from school Nicholas something doesn't seem quite right there either - but they seem to balance each other well but still the author keeps you triggered with topics that keep coming up so you know there are twists left to be resolved and WOW are there some twists! The book is listed as a romantic suspense but I didn't feel that was really actuate but idk how else to categorize it. Overall a great narration of a good book that has lots of twists and turns.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
