Excellent!

This is a well-crafted mystery. I enjoyed the author's writing style, and I will be looking for more of her books.

Everybody in this story is paranoid schizophrenia!

liked the ending, but that the entire middle of the book (hours of listening) was a jumble of words that contradicted themselves from every character. I was actually seriously surprised I finished this book. Every character dramatically changed there thought and directection in a very unrealistic way.

Good reading.

Enjoyed listening to this twisted tale. The voices of the readers were great! Looking forward to listening to another book by this author.

Mostly put me to sleep

This story probably would’ve made a good movie but it was WAY to descriptive to follow along and not fall asleep. I was intrigued in some part and others the author used 50 words to describe one object and it lost me. I’m like wait what are we talking about? It was decent for a free read but would’ve returned it if I used a credit.

You won't guess how this one ends!

This was well written and well narrated!! This story idea is fresh and unusual! I really enjoyed it! Definitely worth the time!
