Amazong but couldn't quite sink the landing

This book was gripping and thrilling until the ending which felt pretty rushed. Excellent audio recording.

Holy Undergrounds!

What a thrill! This book had my heart racing with anxiety in almost every chapter once everyone hit the catacombs. Diana Urban did such good job describing the tunnels that I didn't even realize when I felt transported. I just was!
Like the tunnels, this book had seemingly endless twists and turns. With (questionable) decisions being made here and there that only took them further into the catacombs. The chase that ensued was......scary! In the dark I could feel creepy shadows behind me as I sat on the couch reading.

Rebecca Soler (heart eyes). Oh my. I am obsessed with her voice and the books she narrates. She has brought every single book to life for me. She becomes her characters. She helps readers become the characters! I am on a mission to hear every book she has and will narrate.
Max Meyers was a new voice for me. He did a great job in his portrayal.

Highly recommend for Thrill/Suspense seekers. Especially for fans of YA.

SO FREAKING GOOD!!

This was SO FREAKING GOOD!! It was Suspenseful, Creepy and had lots of shocking reveals, twists and turns!!

Imagine getting lost in the creepy catacombs bellow Paris and trying to find your way out, while some dark presence is down there with you!! FREAKING CREEPY!!

The four teenage girls are from the US and are on a school trip, when they end up going with a young Parisian guy to go to a party in the off limits part of the catacombs. These four girls are not all close, with three of them having some drama to deal with. I got a little frustrated with them at times, but then remembered what was like to be a teenage girl.

Anyway, it was AWESOME!! Quite the WILD RIDE!! The details of the catacombs were AMAZING and so vivid that I felt like I was there. The pacing keeps you totally interested, it flows right along and never lags. If you enjoy Thrillers you will love this!!

The narration was EXCELLENT!!

Brilliant story

This is a claustrophobic thrill ride all the way to the end! It has it all, love, trust, betrayal, redemption. To me the star of the show is the phenomenal dialog, and the narration is exceptional. I highly recommend!

Exciting thriller!

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. It was fantastic with its use of references to real life things and dangers. Thank you for this exciting story!

Not my favorite

Good idea, poorly executed. I liked the premise of the story but I just couldn’t believe that the characters would make that many poor decisions or have zero common sense. It was hard to relate to their reasoning. The narration was great though.
