Absolutely Loved It!!

It’s no secret how much I love KM’s books/audios and this one has just taken the coveted top spot! Which is hard because they are all so good but this story had it all! The overall mood throughout was ominous, I was sure a ghost was going to jump out at any moment. We are all guided, persuaded, influenced by people, places, etc that are important to us. So when there is a connection to a tragic event there’s a risk of feeling trapped. The character development was extraordinary and the plot moved seamlessly between past and present to continue to build upon the angst and mystery. The added bonus was the romance, conflict, lives torn apart then slowly pieced together so brilliantly. Figuring it out early was so unimportant due to the explosive twists and revelations! #suspense #murder #lovetriangle #ghosts #lovedthis

Narration by Brittany Pressley is always so good and the emotional range she does in this story is exceptional. She completely captures personality, gender, and tone with ease thru out!!

Not her best.

Disappointed. Very repetitive. "But he's my best friend," theme could have been edited quite a bit to make this believable. The dumb woman main character was just too much for me. Seriously? Not for any woman with half a brain. Save your credit for her better works. It's long, no tension or excitement and you'll know the end half way through.

Interesting! Another great read from Kiersten!

I enjoyed this book! The characters were intriguing & it kept me guessing until the end. I had tears streaming down my face at the end.
It was also the perfect length for an audiobook in my opinion.

Well Done!

A really enjoyable read. Plot was excellent and moved at just the right pace! Characters well developed and enjoyable!

Fantastic!!

Im a big fan of Ms Modglin and this was another one her books that keep you reading/listening. Narration was spellbinding and really added to the story. Highly recommend this audible. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Entertaining

This book drew me in right from the beginning and I didn’t want to stop listening. Well written. Good narration.

Great story

I’m looking up this author to listen to all of her books. She is excellent. No too much, not underwhelming. I loved the plot structure of going back and forth between the past and present. The pace was great.

Phenomenal!

I have read many books by this author, and liked them all; however, this topped the charts. I was not expecting the twists in this book, it really took me by surprise! Highly recommend!

Loved this book!

It started off quite slow, that still did not affect my rating. Great story line full of twists and turns.

An instant new favorite

This book is sooooo good! I was listening to the last few chapters on a dive and was literally screaming from shock my jaw was on the floor! The spice is perfect and the love triangle is delicious and infuriating.
