Slow start Excellent finish

I love all her books! This one took me
Awhile to get in to, there is a lot of depth to each character so much to take from each, I hope there is a second book as the end seems to lead that way. If you haven’t read this, you should!

mic drop

This book is enrapturing! I couldn't put it down!! Excellent writing, had me guessing all along!

I kept thinking about it after I finished!

I really enjoyed the storyline. Performance was great. Loved the development of characters. Sure, there were a few things that were a bit “convenient” to happen, but, overall, what I fun listen. And as I said in the subject line, I’m still wanting more story.

Very well written!

I enjoyed this book so much. I definitely recommend it to anyone that likes crime thrillers.

Twisted

“You never really know when you’ve met the man who’s eventually going to murder you.”

This was such a twisted tale! I enjoyed the whole story and will look to see what else is written by J.T. Ellison.

Constantly Changing

Well written murder mystery, I thought I had it figured out, but was surprised by the ending! The characters were well developed, I enjoyed the contrasting and multiple threads the characters wove through the book.

Awesome!

I cleaned & listened! Best time I’ve had cleaning my house in a long time! Suspenseful, to say the least! The ending I was teary-eyed. Immediately called my daughter to term her it’s a MUST READ! Enjoy! You’re in for a great ride😘

Good twists

The whole book was great up until the ending. Good twists. I liked the story in a story.

Just okay

Didn’t hate it but it definitely wasn’t a favorite. Just felt kinda long considering you figure out what is happening fairly early on. The narrator was good but her voice was a little too soothing and made me want to fall asleep sometimes.

Narrator was great- story was meh

The writing and narration were excellent, but the plot was difficult to follow and I became bored trying to keep up.
