A Suspenseful Mystery

By: Michelle Files

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Two Thrilling Mysteries. One Dark Secret.

From mystery, suspense author Michelle Files comes a gripping two-book series that will keep you turning pages long past bedtime.

Madison’s life was shattered before she could even remember it—kidnapped from her crib under the cold glow of the moon. Years later, the unanswered questions of that night refuse to stay buried.

Haunted by the past and shadowed by danger, Madison uncovers a tangled web of secrets, lies, and betrayal, where every revelation brings her closer to the truth, and closer to peril. Someone is watching. Someone is waiting. And the answers she seeks could cost her everything.

Dark, twisty, and impossible to put down, Michelle Files’ series is perfect for fans of suspense, thrillers, and heart-pounding mystery.

As far as chapter 12

As a parent it is hard to listen to Madison’s behavior. I have only gotten as far as chapter 12 and had to stop to read the other reviews which I probably should have done prior to listening. Now I’m a bit invested so I’ll see how much more I can stand to listen to.

Horrible AI reader. Zero emotion!

Several time line errors. Several unbelievable events. If this story had taken place before cellphones, it might be more believable.

Girl, Twisted

Wow. First, whisper sync’s emotion is so incongruous with the story and the girl’s character that my brain had to work hard to reassemble a coherent tale.
Second, the twists and turns seem to be most important so that character integrity and motivation are compromised. Many unrealistic pieces occur.
Third and most disturbing to me: it’s a coming of age drama. Seems like Cinderella or a learn-to-do-right or be a good person type story but noooo!
Young Adult dramas certainly do get repetitive. If the character is male, he will do something dishonest and pay for it and learn his lesson, Honor and chivalry are primo.

This story goes another way. Our girl is free to sleep around and lie and not be responsible for consequences. She learns how to bully, how to enchant and manipulate boys, how to be a sexy sixteen and how to play the victim card.

Madison is very shallow and probably diagnosable as psychopathic, eg she recognises pain in others but doesn’t care for long, just doesn’t like if someone is mean to her when she ruins their life.

Literature has evolved this century. It’s now assumed that women matter and men may not. Women wield power in ways unavailable to men and without reciprocity. A book like this (a teenage girl repeatedly rewarded for her sins) would have been unacceptable in 1990 but now?
