A gripping psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist

De: Ellis Howell

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

After an affair wrecks their marriage, Dan and Miranda Kelly attempt to escape with their young daughter to the remote lake town of Pinewood, Kansas. It’s a new start, a chance to heal and begin a new chapter of their lives. More importantly, it’s an opportunity to forget Abby, the woman who nearly destroyed their family.

Unfortunately, Dan and Miranda soon discover that past mistakes cannot be avoided so easily. Shortly after beginning their new life in Pinewood, Dan begins to receive harassing messages from Abby, warning him that she will not be easily forgotten. What begins as harassment quickly turns to deadly obsession and violence.

As Abby’s acts of terror escalate, Dan and Miranda begin to learn the depths of her derangement and the lengths a person will go for the one they love, even if it includes murder. Filled to the brim with twists, THE FRESH START tells the story of a deadly lover’s triangle, where everyone has their secrets and no one is who they seem.

AI should not be used for audible books.

Absolutely did not like AI reading. Mispronounced words, poor pausing for punctuation, and the female character did not sound human. Took away from the enjoyment of the book.

Virtual voice is terrible

Mispronounced words and robotic. Great story though and would’ve been so much better if narrated by a human.

Great read!!

The storyline kept my attention. Nice twist at the end. Would love a sequel to this.

Virtual Voice almost ruined a fantastic story

First, let me say that this story was great! But it was nearly sunk by the Virtual Voice narration. The AI narrator missed important inflections and frequently misplaced making sections of the book nearly unintelligible. It also grotesquely mispronounced "Gatorade" as if it was a French confection, which in and of itself nearly killed the book for me.

It makes plain the fact that AI will not be replacing voice actors anytime soon!

These AI narrations are horrible...

The story was great but I almost stopped listening because of the AI narration. The lack of emotion and mispronounced words made it hard to listen to.
