With You Always

De: Rena Olsen

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley

From the author of The Girl Before comes a tense and incisive work of psychological suspense that examines how easy it is to fall into the wrong relationship...and how impossible it can be to leave.

In the wake of a painful breakup and struggling to prove herself at work, Julia feels adrift. When Bryce blows into her life, he seems like the perfect anchor. Handsome, charming, secure, and confident, Bryce brings out the best in Julia, sweeping her off her feet with attention and affection while grounding her with his certainty and faith. Together they embark on a path guided by the principles of his family and their church, each step a paving stone leading to happily ever after.

But this is no fairy tale.

Step by step, one small concession leading to another, Julia is slowly isolated from her job, her friends, and her family, until she comes to find that her dream come true is a cage. Then one day everything changes...and Julia is faced with no choice but to find a way out.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for With You Always

“Compulsively readable.”—Kirkus Reviews

“The psychological suspense ramps up to the final pages....Olsen, whose debut was The Girl Before (2016), has another page-turner here.”—Booklist

Praise for The Girl Before

“Easily the most disturbing and unsettling book I have read this year....As in the best suspense novels, there are mysteries within mysteries, and all is not what it seems—not to Clara, and definitely not to the reader.”—BookPage, A BookPage Best Mystery of 2016

“Gripping...A powerful, moving debut by therapist Olsen in which cruelty is counterbalanced by compassion and love.”—Booklist (starred review)

“[A] thoughtful look at victims and perpetrators and the difficulties that arise for someone who is both at once....[The Girl Before] moves at the pace of a mystery, but the novel is strongest when it allows Clara to unpack her past and consider who she will be going forward. A moving story of recovery and responsibility.”—Kirkus Reviews

“[A] suspenseful but disturbing debut.”—Publishers Weekly

“I couldn't put it down. The novel is compelling, perplexing, and ultimately uplifting! The unusual structure is a perfect match for the magnetic voice of the central character. I predict this daring debut novel will make Rena Olsen “the girl ahead” among psychological suspense authors.”—Karen Harper, New York Times bestselling author of Upon a Winter’s Night

Not what I expected

had to change the speed of the audible to 1.15 it was just to slow and drawn out. It was a book I forced myself to finish.

just wow!

kept me wanting more the whole way. I still want more now that it's done

Great book

Brittany Presley is a great reader. If she narrated a lot more books I would be hooked. The book is awesome.

Slow and Lacking

Situations and some dialogue dragged on painfully longer than necessary. What should've been suspenseful sometimes got boring. Love the narrator. The storyline was annoying.

Loved the ending

I enjoyed this book. Having experienced being a relationship with somebody very similar to the husband, it infuriated me to listen to it at times. It’s hard to believe that there are women in the same circumstances as Julia.

With You Always by Rena Olsen

Good story but incomplete. Should have gone into her trial and the uncovering of that church and the evil wick people running it. Why did you stop the story there? Hints were already laid out how others tried bringing to light the wrong doing of their leaders and that church, so why didn't you complete that plot? Horrible ending. And why had her sister come to see her on that last day??

Very good

I wish the book went on a little further to see that the church was shut down and how great her life was after she killed him

Good but eh

I enjoyed it however it’s dark and heavy. It’s well written and narrated. Just not my favorite.

Good story, wished for more detailed ending

Overall a great story but I wanted more info at the end about what happened to the woman and a better wrap up.... I felt it ended abruptly

Get past the beginning clichés and you're golden!

I had a hard time in the beginning of this book, as it starts as so many domestic-abuse-slash-escape stories do. Had to endure the lightning-strike lovey-dovey stuff and the predictable sudden "who did I marry?!" However, what I found compelling about this one was how heavily religion tied into the story. A pretty thoughtful job was done of it, too. What I'd like to know is how did literally every person in Julia's life find Bryce suspicious in the beginning... if he was so slick how did he not fool a single person in her life? But still, I consider it worth a credit. Though (spoiler), I do wish there was a LITTLE more to the ending; what happened next?...
