The Intended Victim

De: Alexandra Ivy

Narrado por: Jim Frangione

Once, She Got Away

The body lying on a cold steel slab bears all the hallmarks of the Chicago Butcher. There's a cruel slash across her throat, deep enough to sever the carotid artery, and a small crescent carved into her right breast. Her delicate features are painfully familiar to Ash Marcel, once a rising star in the Chicago PD. But though the victim resembles his former fiancee, Remi Walsh, he knows it's not her.

But This Time

Though Remi escaped a serial killer five years ago, her father died trying to save her. Grief and guilt caused her to pull away from the man she loved. Now Ash is back in her life, insisting that Remi is still in danger.

It's a Dead End . . . .

Someone is targeting women who look just like Remi. With or without a badge, Ash intends to unmask the Butcher. But the killer isn't playing games any longer. He's moving in, ready to finish what he started, and prove there's nothing more terrifying than a killer's obsession . . . .

Great story

I thought I had it figured out but was wrong. Only issue I had was it was male audio narrator and he didn’t change his voice for girl characters. Would have been nice. He sounded same for anyone.

Absolutely loving this story!

Solid 4 stars for this volume in this amazing series! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing another Marcel brother in this book!

Five years ago, Remi escaped a serial killer with her life and a bunch of mental scars. She also lost her father to the same serial killer. She lost her relationship with her fiance because of her guilt in losing her father. Ash is back in town after hearing the news that a woman that looks exactly like his ex-fiance is found dead in the same manner as the serial killer who he was hunting 5 years ago. That serial killer cost him his partner and his fiance. Can Remi and Ash come back together to solve this case to put both their minds at ease? Can they rekindle what they lost?

I really loved everything about this book. I loved Remi and her determination to not be a victim. I love Ash and his protectiveness. I also love the family that they both have in the Marcel clan. I love everyone's drive to protect their loved ones. I loved the depth of this story. There was so much to learn and so much to it. I totally had no idea how it was going to end until it ended and it took me completely by surprise! I love that in a mystery. Keep me guessing the whole time until the end!

Overall, loved this one so much and crossing my fingers that there's going to be more to come!

I chose to also purchase the audiobook for this because I listened to the rest of the series. This one definitely didn't disappoint! Jim Frangione was brilliant as always!

Twist

Totally didn’t see that twist coming! Great book! Great author! Recommend highly! If smut freaks you out this book is not for you. There are some steamy parts.

On the edge of my seat!

loved it. could not put it down. so cleverly written. I'm hooked on Ms Ivy's books!! This one is the first but it won't be the last!

the wrists and turns of the story

the speakers voice is very sharp to the ears. he read the script well. but his voice has a drone to is

Good story

The story was good but the narrator was rather bland. Not a lot of reflection in his tone.

Nicely done!

Great story, great narration. I was a little disappointed that I was right early on about who the killer was, but all in all, I enjoyed this book!

very good narrator!

When you have a good narrator it really makes a difference when listening to these stories on Audible. Jim F. is excellent for mysteries. He also narrated the Tony Hillerman series

Really good book

I love it when I come across a book that surprises me. This was a great listen and I wish it were part of a series.

The book itself was interesting and easy to get hooked on. The plot was surprising this is one of the rare occasions that I could not determine how it was going to end.

I’ll be looking for more books by this author.

kept you on your toes

but I liked about the book it wasn't boring it kept moving pretty fast, you'll never guess who did it. I really didn't enjoy this one I like most of them but this one was really good
