Unnecessarily Explicit, Vulgar, Trashy and Dumb

Vulgar and unprofessional. I did not want to hear those filthy, degrading thoughts running through his head about the sex he had with the woman. I barely could listen. Forwarded through most of this book. And a woman actually wrote this???
"F" word, etc., used with emphasis throughout the whole book, from everyone.
Why do some of you authors think that vulgar language and explicit sex scenarios are cool? NOT. To the author: you trashed your own novel. Took its dignity away. You reduced the number of readers. Audible needs to start rating these b/c they're almost like movies--PG, R, X, etc.
The narrator was talented with her voices, but there was no warmth at all and she over-pronounced endings of words like a teenager, which was very annoying. I will never read a book by this author again, nor the narrator.
I simply cannot believe the amount of good reviews. The worst Audible experience I've ever had.

*No Spoiler*

The story line was comically predictable. The writing with a border line high school level. I bought into all the wonderful reviews only to be incredibly disappointed. Don't waste your credit.

Slow start great ending

For me personally the beginning was a little slow but I kept listening and was soon hooked. Every time I thought I had it figured out I was definitely proved wrong. That ending will have you jaw dropped.

Do yourself a favor and click purchase!!

Let me start off by saying this book had my attention the entire time! I love the two narrators!! It was an easy, but fantastic listen!! Let’s just say, I never saw that coming!! So if you are deciding if you should use your credit.. the answer is YES! Look no further!! You can thank me later!!!:)

Stop scrolling and spend that credit!

This book is incredible! I couldn’t stop listening. Every bit of it kept me on the edge of my seat! If you’re thinking about listening, do it!!

A true page turner

I liked how the author got my attention in the first few chapters. As I read, I found myself wanting to know more. The story was easy to follow and I did not see the twists coming. Every surprise was intriguing. I loved the ending. I really enjoyed this book.

best book ever

loved it best book i have read in years a must read book don't miss out

Excruciating listen

The writing is horrible and forced. The male narrator's performance is over the top. A few gems: "The contrast [between new and old parts of a town] was almost poetic in its sadness;" "The first time I saw her it was as if i had been grabbed around the throat with two hands." "She brings out my animal instinct." - These all from the male narrator. From female narrator: Hard to recall the irritating and trite statements she made but they were mostly about how great she was- i.e. the police detective looked at her with newfound respect after she came out of the bathroom at the station. He must have googled her and found out who she was - the best defense lawyer around. Blah blah blah. All along the lines of how she is such a "*** -buster" and so accomplished, hard working, brilliant, etc. The line "her blond bun was tight with not a strand out of place" was written at least three times at different points to describe her in the first 45 minutes or so of the audiobook - which was as far as I got. The dialogue is just bad. Example: "X (don't remember the character's name) was the first person I met in my first year at Yale Law School." Then later, after X sees the female narrator "in action" giving a closing statement to the court: "Wow, so impressed. i haven't seen you in action since moot court at Yale Law School." Anyone who went to Yale Law School - or any law school for that matter - would not have to say the full name when speaking to a cohort. You'd just say, "last time i saw you in action was in moot court in law school."
So poorly written that I couldn't focus on the plot. It might have been interesting to see how it played out, but it was not worth it to slog through that writing. I literally cringed so many times over the less than an hour I spent listening. Do yourself a favor and don't waste a credit on this one.

Amazing

I had been looking for a new book and this one was recommended. I finished it in 2 days. I couldn’t stop listening. Can’t wait for another book by jeneva!

perfect read 👌

This is definetly a great read you just have to get past the very sexual oriented beginning but after that it keeps you guessing to thee very last word

not worth the money

Bad writing. Unnecessary use of the word "F****t' narrators did great job given the material.
