Publisher's summary

Afraid to Scream

Others may dread the chill of winter, but he relishes it: the way the frigid water preserves his victims, the feel of their icy skin beneath his fingers…. And soon the world will see their beauty - and his vengeance.

Afraid to Run

The town of Grizzly Falls is on edge in the wake of a serial killer, and Detective Selena Alvarez is no exception. That case was solved, but a new nightmare is about to unfold. There are two victims so far - their bodies were frozen solid and deliberately displayed. Both are women she knew. And each wears a piece of Selena’s jewelry….

Afraid to Die

Selena’s partner, Detective Regan Pescoli, and the entire department are on the case, as is P.I. Dylan O’Keefe - a man Selena got too close to once before. But this killer already knows too much about Selena’s secret terror, her flaws, and the past she’s tried to outrun. And soon he’ll show her that she has every reason to be afraid….

Unique and fascinating serial murder novel!

The serial murderer is an ice statue artist who puts real women inside the ice and then poses them in public places. This narrator is quite good.

Recommended for those who like dark detective thrillers.

WOW!!!! I loved it sooo much!!!

Thank You Lisa Jackson, for taking me away and losing myself. It was a great ride, one that I didn't want to get off.

Great to see Alvarez and Pescoli again

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot was good. There were a few unbelievable coincidences but for the most part it was a good storyline.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The narrator needs to work on her male voices. It kind of broke up the flow when she switched to a male because it really sounded like a female trying to sound male. When it was narration or female voices she did fine.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This book definitely kept me hanging on and wanting to drive around to listen. Fortunately I had lots of driving to do for work and could listen to it all in just a few days.

Any additional comments?

It's great to be back to the Alvarez and Pescoli storyline. I've really enjoyed this series.

Horrible Narration but good story

Would you try another book from Lisa Jackson and/or Natalie Ross?

I love Lisa Jackson but I will not listen to another book narrated by Natalie Ross

Who was your favorite character and why?

Dillan

What didn’t you like about Natalie Ross’s performance?

She talks in broken sentences and I don't like her accents and the voices she uses for the characters

Could you see Afraid to Die being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yes

must love Lisa Jackson

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

no, just ok

Would you be willing to try another book from Lisa Jackson? Why or why not?

I do not think so. the outline is good, but she just does not have the material I enjoy.

Which character – as performed by Natalie Ross – was your favorite?

I purchased this book because Natalie Ross was the reader. Her male voice is her strength and if you like her, then visit the books she reads. My all time favorites are there.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

I own so many...if this author has a following great...just not my cup of tea.

Just Okay

Have you listened to any of Natalie Ross’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

LOVE Natalie Ross, one of the best narrators.

Did Afraid to Die inspire you to do anything?

My first Lisa Jackson. Not sure how I like this writer

Love this series!!

Love listening to this series! Thought it might get repetitive but so far so good

…get a life

This is the last book in the series, and my interest in them has gone down with every book. Not that the story was terrible, but these women need to get a life. In particular, Reagan and Santana need to stop having sex and talk. Why do Reagan’s children have to be brats from the first book on? I’m only halfway through, but I’m not reading anymore.

Really good!

This kept me on the edge of my seat a lot. Another great listen! Really liking this series.

It's A Good Thing LJ Is Clearly an Animal Lover

I (again) loved the book. She keeps me on the edge of the seat until the end. But I AGAIN hate the fact that so may people smoke. This isn't 1960. And I hate every child in ALL of the books. I blame the way she has them parented, of course, but just listening to the bratty little monsters makes me wanna put the book down. Regan needs to grow a spine, kick the one kid out, ground the other one, stop living in the past and move in with Santana and be happy.
