Compelling Story & Phenomenal Narration!

The Reflex is one of the most compelling books I've ever read. The details were interesting, the story is unique and it is full of danger, spies, espionage, humor, love, hope, and so much more!

I identified with Cara immediately. She's a sleepy mom, navigating school drop off and kids while balancing everything else in her life and I absolutely loved the dynamic between Cara and Nick. Their interactions were perfect, it was clear they were in love with each other and I loved the little bits that they did for each other.

When things go awry, this story gets extremely interesting and I was sucked into the fast-paced storyline anxiously trying to figure out what was going to happen. There were moments where my heart was pounding and others where I was cracking up laughing.

The audiobook narrator, Tara Langella did such an incredible job that I just uttered to myself "seriously, this was only one narrator?" I seriously thought this was a full-cast narration. I'm even more impressed with the immersive experience that she created and I am wow'ed that she voiced all of those characters so distinctly that I never caught on that it was only one narrator. Stunning work!

If you're into mysteries, secrets, spy networks, and so much more, this book is for you!
