Resumen del Editor

A New York Times bestseller, The Paper Swan is a haunting tale of passion, loss, and redemption. Dark, gritty romance that sizzles with intrigue and suspense.

"You can either choose love or you can choose hate, because where one lives, the other will die."

Kidnapped a day short of her twenty-fourth birthday, Skye Sedgewick struggles to uncover her captor's motives. Damian Caballero is not only impossible to read, but also dark, troubled, and unflinchingly brutal.

For twenty-one days, Skye holds on. But on Day Twenty-Two, she yearns for the sweet slumber of death. Because on Day Twenty-Two, Skye realizes that her only way out means certain death for one of the two men she loves.

Intended for mature audiences due to violence, sex, and language. Subject may be disturbing for some listeners.

Beautiful and sad

What made the experience of listening to The Paper Swan the most enjoyable?

The story really tugged at my heart and narrators really did a good job.

Which character – as performed by Shirl Rae and Zachary Webber – was your favorite?

Zachary Webber of course. I bought this book cause of him lol. He's my favorite. Shirl Rae was good too. Before I listened to this book, I was listening to one and the female narrator was awful so I was happy with Shirl's narration. Esteban's character was beautifully written but I come to love Skye when she became more than a rich spoiled brat.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me cry. Ive known women like Mama Lu and kids like Esteban. It's a sad world they lived in.

Any additional comments?

This is my first Leylah Attar book. I love it. It's no ordinary love story. There are some parts I wasnt fond of but the great parts that I love made up for it.

Twist and turns ahead!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Paper Swan?

The shooting scene. Definite full of suspense. But there were so many great scenes. The opening chapters drew me right in.

What does Shirl Rae and Zachary Webber bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I think Zachary Webber really brought a lot to the male character. The suspense, the pain, and the history were just so well written and then brought into this story by the narrators. First time listening to Shirl Rae and I really liked her as well.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. It never stopped moving you through the story, so much happens and so much about the past is brought to light too. It is done right and you feel like it all comes together at the right point.

Any additional comments?

I'm stingy with my five stars, but this book has it all: great story, hot romance, good narration, suspense, and originality.

meh

it was okay. The female voice was annoying to me. During the serious parts (which Is the entire story) and she made it feel more like a joke. I only chose to listen because Zachary Webber was involved and so I suffered through female voice. I not listen or recommend this book. I lost interest with 3 hours left and felt I could use my time listening to something else.

Refreshing!

So I've officially become a fan! Its been a long time since I fell in love with a book and this one sure did it for me. Very sweet, but somehow rigged with lots of twists and turns - just how I like them. Definitely worth buying.

love love love

This book has every thing I could want in a story. .. tears, laughter, intensity, love, redemption, revenge, and a pretty happy ending! I will be reading this one again:)

This was a great read, would make a awesome movie.

One of the best books I've read this year..what a great love story with a great ending.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

I never cry, but this was such an epic story that I cried sad tears and happy tears. This is one of the best books I have ever read and listened to. The narrorators were awesome. I would definitely recommend this book. it was so worth the credit!!!!!

Darker than I thought it would be...

In many ways this book took to long for me to become emotionally connected to the story. I was actually turned off for the first 75% of the book and it wasn't until part 4 or 5 that I actually got misty eyed. I also don't think that my emotions were for Sky and Damion, I felt more for the secondary characters than the main characters. I wish I had known that this was more of a dark romance than just a contemporary story. Although I went in blind knowing that it was a dark romance would have put me in a different mind frame and I may have been able to enjoy the story more.

This specific video review will be included in the May 2018 wrap-up.

Fantastic story

You're gonna love this story from beginning to end it will make you cry ,laugh, and fall in love awesome story definitely must read

Good.

It’s good but the glowing reviews are a bit generous in my opinion. The description was a little vague so here’s more..

The first half is a drug cartel revenge story, the second half goes into the characters in more depth.
It’s good, not great but good.
