Strange Attractors

By: Ana K. Wrenn

Narrated by: Abby Craden

What happens when you teach chaos theory and life starts to mirror your lessons? The tiniest events transform the most driven woman in this beautifully written lesbian psychological thriller.

Fierce and frosty high achiever Professor Sonja J. Storey is on the verge of seizing power in her department. She has exacting plans to remake her backwoods North Carolina university, just as she has painstakingly remade herself.

Sonja's perfectly ordered life takes a dramatic turn when she meets laid-back, magnetic junior professor Crystal Byrd.

But then come threatening notes, sinister emails, and shadowy nocturnal figures, and suddenly, Sonja's controlled world starts to tremble like a butterfly in a storm.

Is someone out to get her? Is it a specter from Sonja's past? It's hard not to be suspicious of everyone, even intoxicating Crystal with her temptingly warm presence.

Seeing danger everywhere, Sonja must hunt down the source of the chaos before she loses her brilliant mind, and her chance at the one thing she's never known - love.

Contains mature themes.

disconcerting

this was a difficult book to hear, with themes of abuse, mental illness, and anger. still, beautifully written.

Fantastic

I couldn't stop listening. Very well written and Abby's narrative is what brings the characters to life.

Torture!!!

This was the most torturing book I have ever listened to. I stayed to the end because of Abby Craden and Crystal, the character. I was completely disturbed after listening to this. just awful. too MF slow and torturing again. I am going to stop here.

Disappointing

I just now finished listening to the audiobook and my 3 stars are based solely on my enjoyment. Dr. Sonja J. Storey was such an unpleasant character; the cruelest ice queen I’ve ever listened to. It was painful to listen to how she spoke to and treated other people. Things smoothed out late in the book, but I was too shell-shocked by then.
Abby Craden was magnificent in her performance. She deserves 10 stars.
In spite of my feelings at this moment I will say that this was a very well-written psychological thriller. There were a lot of characters and an abundance of drama. I will re-listen to this later and, perhaps change my opinion.

What an amazing trip!

I can hardly believe this was the author’s first book! It’s an amazing, dark and captivating story and Abby brought it to life amazingly! Some of the voices are actually chilling! A must read!
