Reseñas de la Crítica

“… a thriller that will be pleasing to any fan of The Da Vinci Code,” —Kirkus Reviews

A Thrilling Story Brought to Life

Even though I’ve already read The Key to Kells, listening to the audiobook still had me reacting the same way I did the first time: gasping, shocked, and completely hooked. Brock Donovon’s narration brought the characters and action to life, and it honestly felt like experiencing the story all over again in a fresh way. It’s rare for a story to grab me twice like this! I hope this gets more love and attention.

History, Mystery, and Heart in One Unforgettable Story

I absolutely loved The Key to Kells. It is probably my favorite thriller I have listened to, the perfect blend of history, mystery, science, and adventure. The concept hooked me right away: a gene mutation that lets you relive your ancestors’ memories. It is fascinating, original, and surprisingly believable.

Key Murphy makes a great leading man, smart, loyal, and human in all the right ways, and Arin is a strong, balanced partner. Together they carry a story full of twists, secrets, and discoveries that kept me guessing to the very end.

The narration was excellent and brought every scene to life. The accents, pacing, and emotional tone made it easy to stay immersed. I especially loved how the historical and scientific threads wove naturally through the action.

It is rare to find a thriller that feels this fresh and well-researched. The Key to Kells is the definition of a must-listen!

Could have been a good story

First off I didn’t finish the book because they were dropping F bombs you get three strikes and you’re out. But the book was good up until the point of the 3F bombs.

Audible would not give me a refund so hence I’m going to give a review for the part of the book that I listened to.
