The List

De: Kiersten Modglin

Narrado por: Jennifer Jill Araya, David Bendena, Michael Crouch

Ten years ago, the small town of Bates, South Carolina, was changed forever with the appearance of a slip of paper. Six names. Six people set to die. Six months later, they were gone. But the list maker was far from done with their town.

Like clockwork, new lists come out every six months. To keep their names off of them, the citizens go to extraordinary lengths and keep terrifying secrets. Someone is controlling their town. But who? And, most importantly, why?

When Connor and Jordyn Atwood move to Bates, they see firsthand how far their new neighbors are willing to go to protect themselves. Will the Atwoods succumb to their newfound surroundings? Or will they fight to protect the town they now call their home?

With everything at stake and no one to trust, the Atwoods quickly learn the list maker has one important rule: Do what you’re told...or find your name on The List.

Stupid

Like most of hers but this one is too out there. I finished just to know who did it

This book needs a trigger warning

The storyline is well written. However, it is heavily centered around the depths of children. I believe that disclaimer should be more clear before one chooses to begin reading the book.

So good!

This was an amazing story which is no shocker with this author! Unpredictable and kept me guessing, I loved this book. The the voices of both Jordan and "him" were good and seemed on point with the characters. This is a must have title!

Interesting if you suspend your disbelief

NO spoilers here. The story is interesting and reminds me of a few books and movies I've seen that had similar plot lines. In those other books and movies, I was willing to suspend my disbelief because they weren't 100% realistic, and I did the same with this book. I was looking for thriller fiction, and that's exactly what I got.

I didn't particularly feel any attachment to any of the characters, but maybe that's because I listened to the entire book in one day and didn't get any downtime to think about them. The female protagonist was a bit too dramatic at several points in the book, and there were many times when I thought, "Just get to the point already!" when she and others were speaking.

Throughout the book I often thought, "This wouldn't happen in real life," and I had to keep casting aside those thoughts. We all watch shows and moves where unrealistic events occur, yet we enjoy those videos. The same can be said about books, including this one. I did enjoy the audiobook despite the unrealistic story.
