Great but sad

Loved the story but why Jared the narrator is wonderful as always and all the characters great

New Fan

T.R. Ragan has a new fan with me. Kate Rudd narrator does a perfect job telling the story. The two combined make for good entertainment.

Kate is amazing

Kate could narrate the dictionary and it would be entertaining. the book was OK but she has too many storylines going on at the same time that have nothing to do with each other makes an adhd very distracted.

Great series, the ending ughh

Ughh the ending is all I’m going to say. On to the next book! Definitely recommend.

stories

love it,too many story lines to follow as close as wanted.. concentrate on a couple story lines and flesh em out. all the greats do that

This was awesome!

Author keeps surprising me! I read the other reviews & didn't understand how people feel you can't see where everyone is headed! I hear & like where everyone's new chapter is headed! This book is my favorite!

4th book is a charm

Finally book 4 meets my approval. I loved this one. (see my reviews on the previous 3 books in the series). The serial killer makes sense in this story. it is easy to understand. The author actually alliws the characters to make intelligent decisions. And the continuing characters are getting to me. yes, I have started to care about them. I actually yell at the book "Noooo," when something really bad happens to them.
This is a good one and I highly recommend it....but, you have to read the first 3 books to follow the characters.
(Note to the author: I think you missed an opportunity by not making Hayley and Jessica become gay. Their building relationship has been very interesting.)
I really like the new character, Kitally.
On to book #5.

Amazing story with a cliffhanger!

What does Kate Rudd bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Kate Rudd is the narrator for this book and has read for the first three books in this series as well. She is an excellent narrator! I LOVE HER! She just has that kind of voice that records very well. She does the voices of each character in unique way that lets you know she has talent! I especially like her male voices, she doesn't try to just go in a lower register, she gives them a normal pitched but differential tone. Seth's character was phenomenal! That dude is so creepy and her interpretation of his voice with the tongue click he does was scary good! I truly enjoyed Kate's performance and cross your fingers and toes she is never replaced in the middle of this series because I LOVE HER! I give Kate 5 Stars, you are awesome Kate!

Any additional comments?

Obsessed picks up sometime after A Dark Mind, with Lizzy and her band of merry women having grown apart. Lizzy and Jared are planning their wedding that is coming up in December, and she has asked Jessica, Haley, and Katalie to be her brides maids! Haley has gone deeper into her obsession with finding Brian, the man that murdered her mother, and Jessica has been accepted into the FBI Academy. Oh and Katalie wants to work for Lizzy, lol...

True to form, Lizzy spreads herself thin with all that is going on in her life. Planning a wedding, dealing with her father dying of cancer, conducting interviews for an assistant, and now taking on a case from a radio psychologist that has a stalker, and looking for a dead-beat dad. Man I'm tired and I just listened to it! So Haley has really gone downhill since her mother's death. Regretful that she didn't kill the bastard when she had the chance, Haley is on a mission to find Brian and kill him once and for all! She has cut herself off from her only friends Lizzy and Jessica, and she looks like road kill. To keep her going, Lizzy still gives her cases from time to time, and hands off the dead-beat dad case to her, as well as a mutt she witnessed get hit by a car on her way to Haley's! Haley recruits Katalie for the research/hacking parts and Katalie begs Haley to talk to Lizzy for her about an official job.

Lizzy takes on the stalker situation with radio host Madeline Blair, and has her work cut out for her with a jerk of a detective on the case, and Madeline not telling Lizzy or the police everything. Jessica is on a her own mission and seeks out help from Haley with trying to find who killed a 12-year-old girl whom she is close by one person removed with. The "person" is most likely a gang related individual and Jessica knows Haley would get farther then she would in gathering the intel. Jessica and Haley haven't talked or seen each other in two years, so the reunion was awkward to say the least.

In this book we find out more about Katalie and even grow to like her. Her character wasn't unlikeable, just unknown. I really like the fact that she is the closest thing Haley will have to a best friend, because Katalie really seems to care about her. Tommy is still around and helps out when he can. I was really hoping Tommy and Haley would hook up but it doesn't seem like that will ever happen. The plot, sub-plot, and twist in the story were excellent! I enjoyed the ride through the investigations, Haley's manhunt, and the shocking turn of events that happen in the story! Just to warn you now, there is a cliffhanger! I could not believe it even when it was going down. My brain wasn't comprehending what it was reading until five minutes later. I LOVE THE C*&@ OUT OF THIS SERIES, AND CAN'T WAIT TO LISTEN TO THE NEXT ONE!!

I’m afraid This is not going the way

I want it too. I’ve got my fingers crossed that the next two books are not going to make me happy. This has been such a good series - outstanding series - but I fear the happy ever after I want is not gonna happen. But, working hard to be optimistic, I shall continue - hoping I’m wrong, but with a box of tissues by my side.
Excellent narration. A story that draws one into the lives of each of these characters; suffering every heartbreak & tragedy but also the joy and positive changes in each life.
One question though. What happened to Hannah? Did I miss something?

The same stupid type of ending

I like the books but the same old ending from this author is getting old
