This was a great read, would make a awesome movie.

One of the best books I've read this year..what a great love story with a great ending.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

I never cry, but this was such an epic story that I cried sad tears and happy tears. This is one of the best books I have ever read and listened to. The narrorators were awesome. I would definitely recommend this book. it was so worth the credit!!!!!

Darker than I thought it would be...

In many ways this book took to long for me to become emotionally connected to the story. I was actually turned off for the first 75% of the book and it wasn't until part 4 or 5 that I actually got misty eyed. I also don't think that my emotions were for Sky and Damion, I felt more for the secondary characters than the main characters. I wish I had known that this was more of a dark romance than just a contemporary story. Although I went in blind knowing that it was a dark romance would have put me in a different mind frame and I may have been able to enjoy the story more.

Fantastic story

You're gonna love this story from beginning to end it will make you cry ,laugh, and fall in love awesome story definitely must read

Good.

It’s good but the glowing reviews are a bit generous in my opinion. The description was a little vague so here’s more..

The first half is a drug cartel revenge story, the second half goes into the characters in more depth.
It’s good, not great but good.

A Masterpiece!!

The Paper Swan by Leylah Attar is absolutely a phenomenal read. I Couldn't put it down for a second and Narration by Shirl Rae and Zachary Webber makes it wonderful experience.

Highly Recommend the ebook and Audiobook to all listeners.

Zachery Webber!!

Zachery Webber’s performance is the bomb dot com - he takes every story to the next level!!

A COMPLETE experience of every emotion.

If you could sum up The Paper Swan in three words, what would they be?

LOVE, LOSS, REVENGE.

What did you like best about this story?

This books goes back and forth between the POVs of the two main characters and also over time (about 20 years). I usually hate when the story jumps around like this, but Leylah Attar does this quite seamlessly expertly invoking suspense and filling in the holes in the story that come from seeing it from another POV.

What about Shirl Rae and Zachary Webber ’s performance did you like?

I am a Zachary Webber FAN. His performances are always top notch. I have also listened to several books narrated by Shirl Rae. I like her male voices. Sometimes her cadence bothers me a bit but otherwise she is very good. Both Zachary and Shirl did a great job with the pronunciation of Spanish words and phrases interspersed throughout the book.

Any additional comments?

This book delivered raw, intense emotion. I cried. I cringed. I hated. I loved. The romance was bittersweet but was also sexy. It delivered. The majority of this book is set in Mexico and drug cartel activity is a major plot line of this book. The violence was copious and graphic (fair warning for squeamish listeners). HOWEVER, underneath that seedy underbelly lies a beautiful love story. This is one of my favourite books of 2015.

must read

Loved it. not your typical story which I found refreshing. need to know the facts.

Such a beautiful love story

This book truly touched my heart. The characters were delicate and the author took me into a world that made me so much more appreciative of my circumstances when I left it.
