Do Not Open

De: Kiersten Modglin

Narrado por: Mara Wilson

On the day author Mari Morgan receives the email, she has little left to live for.

The message—simple yet utterly life-changing—offers a glimmer of hope to her dismal existence. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime, and if she takes it, it could change everything.

Mari’s immediate sense of unease is eclipsed only by her curiosity—elicited from the supposed fan on the other end of the email. Unsatisfied despite doing her due diligence, and with no way to discern the legitimacy of the sender, Mari takes a leap of faith and replies.

What harm could come from one innocent message?

Soon, as she comes face to face with her ‘number one fan,’ it’s all too clear things are not what they first appeared. Now trapped by a villain far more sinister than she could’ve crafted herself, the fate awaiting her is inspired by the darkest depths of the monsters in her own novels.

In order to escape and survive, Mari must use the strength of the heroines she’s spent years writing about. But this villain has spent years inside her worlds, too.

How will she defeat an evil who has learned from the best?

For fans of Misery, YOU, and Behind Closed Doors, million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin brings us a haunting tale of obsession and survival in the form of a writer’s worst nightmare come to life.

Really good

I needed a break from politics and this did not disappoint. I’ve listened to quite a few of her books and this one is the best.

Not up to her usual

This felt like a different author’s work. I 4 or 5 star all of Modglin’s books - not this one!

Great Story

The ending was really crazy, in a good way. The suspense was so great I finish the majority of the book in one day. I felt side swipped!!!!

It’s a mix between Misery and Big Driver

I enjoy KMod but this one, much like The Family Secret felt like she was trying to hit a word count. It also seemed very similar to other works. The story was just okay, for me but the twist was jaw dropping. The narrator was great!

Yikes!!! Did not see that twist!

*****Potential Spoilers*****

I liked the premise of the story. As always KM spins her magic with plot and characters, but there was quite a bit of repetition and the spotlight on her alcohol dependence did not feel flushed out, it just came across as a character flaw. Even though the story reads like Misery on steroids I was ok with fighting back but seriously disturbed by the predatory assaults. The ending was such a shock, clearly never entered my mind. I’m going to hope for eventually the ending I want for them both to have. Yay for besties!

Narration was great even with the few times there was difficult content.
