Consuming, Shocking, Amazing!

Natalie, married to a challenging man and raising a young daughter. Bob … invisible … taken for granted as he performs a service, then dismissed from the minds of those he serves. Bob may be beneath Natalie’s notice, but she’s captured HIS interest, his … all … consuming … obsessive interest! I was mesmerized as I listened to Bob, in “Courier”, as he gives his first person account of his spiral into obsession with Natalie! Time vanished, my real world vanished, I was absorbed, TOTALLY in the moment with Bob! This story, THIS brilliantly twisted, psychologically thrilling story, had me completely consumed! The characters are brilliantly detailed, making getting to know them easy! It also made feeling for them, and yes at times, feeling a bit upset WITH them, easy as well! No spoilers! As you listen to this brilliantly written psychological thriller I’m sure you’ll see exactly what I mean! The narration, done in the first person, is eerily PERFECT, subtly setting a dark, spiraling mood that kept me firmly in the moment from beginning, till the final twisting end! Again, no spoilers. I’m not ruining the mind bending surprises of this fabulous listen for anyone! Just know that everything, the story, the characters, the narration, EVERYTHING, is perfect, it ALL makes sense, and it’s worthy of five fabulous stars! I loved it!

A creepy siutation

While I enjoyed listening to this audiobook, I wouldn't place it in my "listen again" pile. The story was fun and interesting but there was no suspense or twists (the major attempted twist was easy to see coming).

The story is about a man who used to have a decently successful crystal/occult novelty store. As it is with life, "things happen" and he gives up his store to eventually become a courier. He doesn't like the job but it provides the money for him to live. One day when he delivers a package, he happens upon a situation that appears to be abusive...a woman and a child looking scared and seemingly being mistreated. The courier sets out to help the lady--who he is crazy about--and her daughter get away from the abusive husband. His actions, while justified in his mind, cross all sorts of barriers that eventually........

Good things come in small packages

⭐️rating= 4.5/5
🌶rating= .5/5

Good things really can come in small packages! "Courier" is a great example of that in book form. It has the same vibe as "You" and I am all for it!

It is well written and Zoi did a great job in really depicting a creepy stalker. I loved how the narrarator really embodied the cocky and delusional Bob.

If you are looking for a quick but great read, I highly recommend this book!

Thank you Zoi Rosi for the opportunity to enjoy this audiobook arc!

Good Listen

I was given this book for free,

This was a good listen, and narration was fine as well.

Creepy!!

The courier is a stalker/ creepy mail carrier. I loved the narration it had the perfect creepy voice to help make the story believable. I thought it had a lot of deep thoughts and the ending was definitely unexpected and not what I thought was going to happen. Overall, I would recommend this audiobook!

Fun, quick, page-turner

Captivating Novella about a mail courier that becomes obsessed with a woman on his delivery route. The ending had a plot twist that was completely unexpected. If you are a fan of You, and are looking for a quick page-turning thriller this story is for you.
