Okay

The last scene was dramatic, full of action, and explosive as Natalie and Drayden accomplished a worthwhile victory, together. She was a fierce mother, fighting for her baby, she knew what her enemy was capable of, yet took a stand, and fought her way to freedom. Kudos to Kim Breton for a fantastic narration for this portion of the book.

Jason Bonet’s narration of Drayden’s point of view was splendid. He had a pleasant voice and his narration was evocative, immersive and engaging. Drayden’s point of view sounded like it was written to be read as an audiobook. The tone used for Drayden reflected his age, determination, youth brashness and his laser focus on his goals.

Natalie’s point of view felt like it was forced into the storyline and it was reflected in the narration. Her entire storyline was about telling Drayden’s story, getting pregnant, food cravings, and pumping milk afterwards; it was hard to connect with her character. If Natalie was not part of the story, the story feels like it could still live on without her.

Also, Natalie’s story was told in a third person perspective and it affected the feel of the performance, it sometimes sound awkward to have access to Natalie’s thoughts even though she was referenced in the third person. In addition, the friendly conversational tone Natalie had with her interrogator did not come across as realistic. She did not sound afraid, nervous, worried, or fearful for her life and her unborn child, as one would expect from a person in captivity. In one of the scenes, Natalie caught a glimpse of her best friend Liv captured through the two way interrogation mirror, the narration of her despair did not sound authentic enough to match Natalie’s emotional state. Natalie’s point of view’s performance was not very believable and less engaging.
