LIE LIKE THE DEVIL - a pulse-pounding psychological thriller with a serial killer twist you'll never forget

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU LIED?

The first lie: MONSTERS DON’T EXIST.

When the body of a man is discovered in the Boston Common, Martina finds herself entering a horrific nightmare. She discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of ancient methods of persecution being carried out by a Puritan-indoctrinated serial killer who believes the devil walks among us.

The second lie: YOU WOULD KNOW A MONSTER IF YOU SAW ONE.

After the first victim is dismissed as gang-related, Martina fears there is more to the murder than meets the eye. Her instincts are soon proven correct when another victim is found, her body displayed in the same gruesome manner. But Boston has dark secrets of its own. Now, the threads of the past are unraveling once again as history repeats the sins of our fathers. A time when religion reigned and the word of God was the ultimate persecutor.

The third lie: YOU CAN SAVE EVERYONE.

Just as Martina and her partner, Neil, discover the dark rituals have a link to the past, the tables are turned, and they are pitted against time to stop the "Wingmaker" before he strikes again. Martina’s faith will be tested as she fights her own demons and more bodies continue to mount. Can she stop the killer, or has the next victim already taken flight?

Good Story but Ai ruined it

Really wish that the narration wasn’t ai
Completely ruined the story for myself- no personality and incorrect pronunciation

VV needs to learn Roman numerals!

How virtual voice ruins a potentially good listen. The lackluster narration coupled with the annoying literal reading out of the Roman numeral —letter by letter, made this one of the worst reads.

Virtual Voice Does Not Work with this Book

It is really hard to listen to this book using Virtual Voice. The chapter headings are in Roman Numerals. Virtual Voice does not recognize these and reads them out as C-H-A-P-X-X-I-V. The author also uses AAVE (?) for a couple of characters, which Virtual Voice just sounds wrong. I don't know how else to say it. I understand what the author said but it did not flow.

Worst Narration ever

Couldn’t listen any longer. I think the story could have been good. Plenty better options out there.

Plot Twists Galore

I'm rarely surprised by plot points but this author had me hooked in the whole time! Keep writing. I look forward to more from you.

The character development added depth to the story with history and biblical references threaded throughout. I hope I can sleep tonight!

This is a note for Audible about virtual voice. There are still knowledge gaps I'm the program such as Roman Numerals.

For the author it would be better with virtual voice narration to label with "chapter 22" to avoid torturing the listener with confusing. reads of the titles and Bible quotes.

I commend your writing of the classic Massachusetts accent. Ironically the narration was able too portray the accent with your excellent writing. I'm off to hear your other title.
