The ending was a letdown
the plot had potential to be a really great sci-fi story, it had all the right pieces storing the climax, but the last two chapters destroyed this book. potential mystery ending up in an all too mundane and ordinary conclusion.

Terrible twist
The last 10 per cent ruined the whole book. As a reader, I feel my general intelligence is stepped on. When the cell phone of 9 years ago can still work perfectly without charging and a nine-year-old girl can play such a game, I lost all the appetite and missed my precious time.

Don’t want to give it away but...
Overall the story is good but it became more unbelievable that a old device being able to be opened after that many years without a charger...too much
Also the author had a strange obsession with farts. Used them often in the story even at times when it couldn’t make sense “the ac worked as well as a fart in ...”

Awful
Great premise, horrible implementation. Started great and was very intriguing, but the twist at the end totally ruined it. No child would ever behave this way or have the tech skills to pull off such a huge lie. No rational adult would reward the kid’s twisted behavior. No adult would ever take a cell phone off a dead body. No police dept would fail to recover said phone. Total crap. What a waste of time!!

Engaging
Found this very good and wished in a way it was longer. I wanted more to happen, but then it is only a novella, but a good listen.

Great little listen
The story is a tragic one in many ways but it doesn't leave you feeling hopeless. It's a great look into how flawed we are but how those sometimes terrible parts of us don't make us terrible as a whole. The richness of the characters is what I enjoyed most about this book. Even though it isn't very long you get a good sense off everyone. The end leaves you with enough to imagine something better is coming...

Good little read and free
it kept my interest and was finished quickly. I'm ADD so I have to keep winding back. I manged to tune out of what was going on around me and for once only lost a few seconds. it keeps you guessing too. right until the end.

A story with a difference
A really gripping storyline and superbly narrated. The only negative being that one was left in the air by the ending.

Really?
I think I would have preferred a supernatural explanation than the one we got. Erin must be the cleverest tween on the planet. So glad it was only a novella. I’d have hated to have listened to an entire book and gotten that ridiculous ending for my efforts.

Started good, and then was meh
The story was great until about three-quarters off the way through, then went downhill fast. The twist ending was like, "whuuuut", and not in a good way. It's like lighting the string of a firework.. you're watching the fire reach the firework... and then PFFT.. nothing!
It's not that bad, but not that good either.
Narration was satisfactory :)

I just had to read this in one go
The twist at the end was a complete surprise.
The author had me faithfully tuned-in to the initial premise and I did not have an inkling of the truth. This is the most enjoyment I have got out of a book for a while. Recommended.

I loved it.
I really love this author and the narrator was pretty good for this one, not too distracting. the only character the narrator didn't nail was Barb in my opinion.
