Woman Down

A Novel

De: Colleen Hoover

Narrado por: Sarah Naughton

In this twisty thriller from New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a frustrated author looks for her muse in a remote hideaway, but what she finds defies all expectations…and reality.

Her words used to set the page on fire. But a viral backlash over her latest film adaptation forced Petra Rose to take a hiatus, resulting in missed deadlines and an overdue mortgage. Branded a fraud and fame-hungry opportunist, she learned the hard way what happens when the internet turns on you. And she’s been uninspired to write ever since.

Now, with her next suspense novel outlined and savings nearly gone, she retreats to a secluded lakeside cabin, hoping to find inspiration. It’s Petra’s last-ditch attempt to save her career—and herself.

Then he shows up.

Detective Nathaniel Saint arrives with disturbing news, his presence igniting a creativity in her she thought long since burned out. Petra’s words return in a rush, and her fictional cop character begins to mirror the very real cop who’s becoming her muse.

Their “research” sessions blur the lines between fantasy and reality. Each glance, every touch pulls Petra deeper into a world she thought she’d never lose herself in again. She’s never felt more alive. But inspiration this powerful comes at a cost.

When Saint starts taking his role in her career a little too seriously, Petra’s forced to confront the chaos she created. But doing so could cost her more than the reputation she’s been trying to salvage. The reputation the world wrote for her—the reputation only she can reclaim.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A dark and twisty look at just how far one woman is willing to go to find inspiration.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Hoover keeps the sexual tension and suspense high as she builds to a truly shocking revelation. This is sure to be a hit.”—Publishers Weekly

Parts are boring

Her description of how she felt took over 20 minutes to describe an 5 minute encounter. I was incredibly bored. Not much of a suspense, a lot of smut.

She’s baaaaaaaack

A twisted little story that will keep you on your toes. I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you liked Too Late, you’ll like this one!

I absolutely love Colleen Hoover!!! Her books always keep you on your toes and rarely disappoint!!
