The Trainer

A Psychological Thriller (The Red Series)

The enemy of my enemy is my friend... The Trainer is a pulse pounding psychological thriller by the bestselling author of Everybody Ain't Your Friend and The Quiet Ones series.

Trapped in a relationship that has become her prison, Adelle Roberts has learned to survive by making herself invisible. Alonzo controls every aspect of her life—who she sees, where she goes, even what she wears. His charm conceals a monster who punishes the slightest perceived betrayal.

When Alonzo forces Adelle to join a gym to lose weight, she stumbles across a kickboxing class and glimpses a possible escape. Except Latifa, her trainer, seems to be harder on her than Alonzo has ever been. What's more is that Latifa seems to be holding a few dark secrets of her own.

Adelle is desperate to escape Alonzo, yet freedom seems out of reach. Until she finally crafts a plan that seems like it will allow her to get away for good - if she survives it.

The Trainer explores the devastating reality of intimate partner violence and asks haunting questions about justice, vengeance, and whether some chains can ever truly be broken.

A pulse-pounding drama full of twists and turns. This series is fast-paced, straight to the point, and packs a powerful punch that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

The Red Series is composed of self-contained stories – they can be listened to in any order.

Easy & short listen

This series hooked me and I listened to all of them. I loved how real verses fairytale or 'happily ever after' the author approaches her books. While several characters irritated me at points (in particular the inability to check a pulse) overall, I liked the series. And I think my favorite perk of the audiobook was the narration outtakes.

its the bonus for me

I loved loved the bonus chapter, this was life..loved to hear the realness of the narrator!
