a bit different

the story was a bit different from the other stories this author has written, but it shows what a great grasp the author has on human behavior.

Great book

Loved the story. I felt so bad for Archie. Poor kid. The plot was great. It kept me interested; couldn’t wait to see how everything would play out. Great book.

Entertaining pulp

This story was entertaining enough and the narrator great enough to keep me listening all the way through, but I t was hard to root for an unethical protagonist. Dishonesty and stalker like behavior was the vehicle and the driver for this story to the point of ridiculousness. The boy withstanding, the characters were generally unevolved beings. Though I don’t mean to say all teens are of this ilk, it felt like this book was geared for the emotional maturity of a teenager. Still, it had some redeeming qualities sprinkled in and, as I said, it was entertaining.

Pleasantly surprised!!

First book I’ve read by this author. Can’t wait to read more. I really enjoyed listening to this from the very beginning. Good plot with an unexpected twist. Enjoyed the narrator. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did..

Another Great Thriller

K.L. Slater has done it again. She’s written another thriller that “got me.” “The Secret” starts to lead you down one path, but with lots of twists and turns, before you know it, you’re going in a completely different (and surprising!) direction. A fantastic listen that I enthusiastically recommend!

Slow start, but worth it

I found this book a little slow to start, but it was worth hanging in there! I didn’t see the twist coming- the first time or the second time. I definitely recommend it.

Getting lost

This story bounces all over the place. It’s extremely difficult to follow. It would have been a great story if it hadn’t tracked all over the place.

Delightfully complex and engaging

I found this book delightfully complex, and engaging. Carried me right through, wanting to explore deeper into the story. Not that it left me hanging, but it was one of those books that I didn’t want it to be over … seemingly “so soon.“
If one is looking for a heart-racing thriller … yeah, nope. But great character study and a story with remarkable twists and turns.
An email excellent read
And Beautifully read.

Frustrating!

The story includes what feels like a number of unrelated/insignificant fluff. With 20 minutes remaining, I still wasn't sure where this was going, and for a moment, I considered the possibility that I missed that this was part 1 of the story (REALLY!! I stopped listening to check the description with 20 minutes left). I've consumed many of these author's books and have enjoyed most of them, but this felt like it was written based on an incomplete idea. The interactions between the characters were very infuriating (realistic, but infuriating).

LOVE IT

I absolutely love these books. I’m very bummed they’ll be taken off! I need to listen to a couple more before I miss my chance!
