A Whisper of Solace

De: Milena McKay

Narrado por: Abby Craden

What makes an Ice Queen?

Neve Blackthorne, head of one of the most successful Studios in Hollywood, is the one to rule them all. Powerful, beautiful, and aloof, she's ruthless, yet irresistible. Above all, she has an unquenchable survival instinct.

Surely a fleeting entanglement with one Audrey Avens, a bright, young, rising star in her company, won't bring down the Wicked Queen of Tinseltown. Or will it?

Neve's public persona has no chink in the untouchable armor, but when the lights go out and the cameras stop rolling, what becomes of an Ice Queen whose heart is ruled by love and fear?

Contains mature themes.

It’s Long

Beginning this story I found myself somewhat bored up til the 4/5 chapter. The dialog seemed a bit technical and somewhat confusing for me. After that there was more to the characters and their interactions.

The MC is such a terror showing no kindness towards the people who she interacted with. Later on you will eventually learn of the PTSD she is suffering and lack of self-worth but I don’t want to give too much. It became exasperating at how she seemed to be on a journey to self destruct which became even more exasperating during most of the story. About the middle I even consider just putting it aside and not finishing. Know that most of the story carries this theme. Not until the last 30% of the story did I begin to feel invested in completing the story anxious to see what would happen.

By the end I was hooked to finish wondering if it would be a loss for our MC or somehow she would be saved from her destructive life.

I will probably revisit this one simply to really understand what I seemed to have missed in the first few chapters.

It’s a story of a lot of disappointment and
Negative feelings although when I consider the complete story I am very glad I used this credit.

A new author for me perfect narration by AC. I would recommend this but with caution that you may find it hard to stick with it in the beginning but it was worth it.

Wow, I loved it.

Wow, okay this was truly an exceptional story. And right off the bat, let me say that Abby Craden has the sexiest voice ever. The MC's are truly very well developed and I alternately hated, loved, and adored them. The pacing of the backstory was slow, but deliberately so, in order for the readers to fully understand the depth of angst underlying the story line. The last third of the book was my favorite. Truly spectacular and fulfilling. I listened to it, then immediately started it again. Simply to reexperience the magic.

Amazing!!

Honestly the best overall story I’ve listened to on here! Highly recommend and will probably reread.

WOW

Awesome story, amazing narrator. Such moving content, every sense is touched to where you feel.

Wonderful audiobook

This was a fantastic audiobook. Performance was excellent. I read the book, but listening to it was a deeper, more intimate experience. so moving! I sat on the bus on my way to work in tears over Neve's therapy sessions... would love to see this as a movie. Masterfully done by author and reader!
