Great Story and Journey

I really love books like this one. It takes you behind the scenes of a families history and secrets. It left me guessing and unable to walk away from it for any period of time.

A death bed confession…

On her deathbed, Garry’s mother confesses that he was adopted. So begins Garry’s journey to find the truth of his birth. When Garry finally meets his birth mother, everything seems too good to be true. Garry and his family are having a great time…until they’re ready to leave and things turn ‘Hotel California’! The truth turns out to be more shocking than imagined. Rather enjoyable story.

Not a Psychological Thriller

I received this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and all opinions expressed herein are my own.

Trigger Warning: There is incest and sexual assault. None of it is described in graphic detail but it is a plot point.

I found the premise of this story interesting - Gary finds out he has been adopted on his mother's deathbed. He then wants to find his birth parents. As he investigates further, he is foreclosed when individuals initially interested in helping suddenly change their minds.

I found the plot to be rather slow moving and some points stretched credibility a bit. It was labeled as a psychological thriller - but it's really not. And the twist - not my cup of tea.

The narrator, Jim Selleck, did a good job and used different voices for the various characters.

shocking and suspenseful!

let me begin by saying, the narrator does an excellent job! He is one of the few male narrators that does a wonderful job of female voices. He really makes all characters come to life.if you are a fan of psychological suspense, this is the book you need to read! The suspense level, and the psychological affects, are both at top level! He finds out a shocking secret on the sudden death of his mother. This is what starts everything. He begins a quest that could cost him, his wife, and their family, their very lives! Along the way, shocking twists and turns are around every corner!

Good, Quick Listen for a Road Trip

The story takes some unexpected turns...be patient. It's a good story that is quick and doesn't have slow, meaningless filler. We listened on a road trip and it was a great fit. Recommended!!

Adventure!

Gary’s mother call him and tells him she was sick. When he got there, she had to be taken to the hospital. She tells him that they had adopted him. After she dies he was determined to find out the truth of who his real family is. Then as the mystery unfolds, it gets dangerous for him and his family. The story goes into twist and turns with a shocker!

Creepy

This book is really pretty creepy. The themes are definitely 18+ but it is not explicit. There is some swearing but it is mostly limited to one very heated scene.

This book deals with the death of the main character’s mother.

It may make you rethink your approach to what’s important in life.

Narration was very engaging.

I received this audiobook for free in exchange for a review.

OMG

This is an awesome listen it grabbed right from the start i could not sleep it is a thriller with a plot from i dont even know where when the secrets were revealed i just sat there with my mouth open i recommend this listen looking forward to more listens by this author and the narrator was spot on

Twisted Thriller

This mystery is super twisted and unpredictable. I felt bad for Gary and his family. They just wanted the truth about Gary's parentage only to find themselves in a paradise from hell. Jim Selleck did a great job with the narration.
