Critic Reviews

“A deadly game of cat n' mouse...Pullar's dark mind is a force to be reckoned with." (Lv Hay)

Disappointed

I read such amazing reviews and I was so into it and then the author chose a cliche. I’m really disappointed.

OMG

I did not see that coming. excellent book. Kept me guessing. this would make a fantastic movie

I just didn’t care about any of the characters

I really didn’t like this book though it was well written I found it dull and I couldn’t connect with any of the characters. To be frank I never find child abuse or rape entertaining. I listen to at least 3 books a week and mostly suspense genre I like to read a book that I emotionally feel connected to at least one of the characters either hate or love this book was just blah I ended up listening to it at 1.25 speed just to to finish it

Pleasantly Surprised

My guilty pleasure read is definitely murder mystery/psychological thrillers. I read so many of them that I'm usually very good at predicting the endings. I usually measure how good a book is by how hard it is for me to figure out the ending. This book did not disappoint. There are definitely clues throughout, but the writer does a great job at disguising them and leaving you stunned at the reveal. I enjoyed this book a lot! Definitely a page turner.

Unexpected!

Completely unexpected twist.Can see this being made into a movie.Good crime psych thriller not for the faint hearted though!

chilling and compelling

well worth every minute it took fantastic story and believable characters and situation. treat yourself.

Awful narrator made it impossible to listen

I couldn’t get beyond the 2nd chapter as the narrator was so bad, no intonation or emphasis - it was a struggle to make sense of what was happening as she paused in odd places, rendering sentences incomprehensible. I gave up and returned it.

Tedious with a very irritating narrator

The concept sounded great and the book came recommended by a friend. However, I found it very difficult to concentrate on as an audiobook as the narrator’s voice was very irritating, the plot was dull and characters unlikeable. After 4 hours I gave up the ghost and deleted it - I’ve listened to 20 books on audible and this is only the second time this has happened. Very disappointing!

Wasted Credit

Oh wow this was a slog to get through. I say get through, I can’t finish it as I’m finding the combination of tedious storyline and dire narration too much like hard work. Maybe the last 3 hours are great and make it worthwhile, but I’ll never know as I’m done.
