Critic Reviews

"To finally get a whole book of Ava's beautiful voice and attitude was so much fun. And then to see that her outer armor was mixed with the very real insecurities and struggles that we can all relate to was magical. She personifies bombshell in every sense of word and I can't wait to have her voice in my head again in Stunner." (Tara Scheyer, Grammy-nominated musician, Long-Distance Sisters Book Club)

Sorry

this story was read not performed. I couldn't get through the first chapter sorry. I've enjoyed several of Ms Hutchins other audiobooks and have purchased several I haven't listened to yet. I will be looking at them to see who's narrating them and if it's the same narrator I'll be trying to get my money back for the audible portion of the book

Good Plot price of fame

Ava world showing the fame of a pop star, agents control her life, to her clothes, her image on stage and off. In this the other side trouble with a stalker and a missing boss. Narration was as though she read it, the plot is excellent as her books are Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Pamela’s steamiest story to date!

Ava is fast tracking her rise to fame and it is bringing the crazy out of the woodwork! She now has people who want her to have a certain presence at all times, they pick out her close, do her hair & make-up in just the right way, spin her life in just the way they want even though it conflicts with who she really is and how she wants to live, they even have the nerve to dictate what she drinks! If that isn’t bad enough she also had to sign a contract stating she will not care for her daughter when she is sick! The excitement of the stage is also making her hormones run on overdrive and she finds herself flirting with everyone constantly to Colin’s absolute frustration! Now she finds herself in the middle of a stalker, one man has died, one man has been shot and no one knows who or what they are after! This is not at all like she thought it would be! Pamela’s steamiest story to date! There is tons of mystery and great characters! I think this was my favorite book in all of the series! Not sure why they changed the narrator for this second installment though. The audio was inconsistent, there were a few areas where the same word or words were repeated, it would go in and out. The narrator did not give off the right vibe to be the bombshell Ava. I was able to get over it and enjoy the story but I wish they would have stuck with the same narrator.

This is Read not Narrated

This is a lovely story about life as a pop star and the craziness the lifestyle ensues. The story is well written and the characters nicely developed. I enjoyed the story however the narration is a reading not a narration. Alayah Frazier needs to learn how to better vary her voice so each character can have their own. She does manage to put a bit of emotion however that needs improvement as well. Also, it sounds like she is in a large room with nothing to soak up sounds. Even with these problems, I feel with more practice and possible training she has the potential to be a really good narrator. I would give her another shot to see if there is any improvement. Even though the narration is more of a reading I don't feel she takes away from the story but she definitely doesn't add to it or make it come alive. I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Stunning book if given chance

If you give this book a chance you might enjoy it as the story was good. You are taking a chance because the recording wasn't the best but if you ignore that and listen to the story you will find it has lots of twist in the story and was good. Ava and her daughter are on your promoting her new album. Being new to the music industry she is only the opening act for the main stars but has the promise of being rich and famous. But being a super star isn't all it's cracked up to be as Ava finds out when she gains the attention of a stalker and stalkers can be be dangerous. With on life taken before the tour even starts Ava is worried and the when an accident derails the tour things get really strange. With her manager ducking her calls, the band members not getting paid, secrets getting leaked to the media, fans going crazy on stage,a stalker seems to be the less of her worries. The narrator was good and I liked her island accent but it only gets a three star rating because the recording wasn't very good, very tinny and there was random sounds at the end of a few chapters like whistling and even what sounded like a toilet being flushed. It you can get past the bad recording then give it ago.
