sorry it's over

great storyline and performance, can't wait to read the next one. Kristen Painter is on my list.

There has to be a trilogy

Can't wait for the movie. Great story. Very entertaining. I will listen to it again and again. The narration made me feel as if I knew the characters.
I'm waiting to find out what happens next.

Enjoyable

Any additional comments?

It took an hour or so before I could get into this book. I almost didn’t continue listening to it because it was so boring. But as the story really got going I enjoyed it. I will definitely continue with this series. I enjoyed the characters and the twists and turns the story took throughout.

Okay story

I liked this well enough to get the next in the series. At times character actions didn’t seem very bright but overall it was good.

Must have more!

Kept me interested, great narration, and just a bit of steam. Fresh and exciting. Loved it and want more more more
