The title captured my interest!
Allie is a damaged girl from a dysfunctional family: Her dad left her mother, Allie's older brother, and Allie to pursue a life of crime. Allie's mother was a prostitute who murdered many of her Johns. Her older brother killed many people including their mother before killing himself in front of Allie when Allie was 15 years old. Allie turns to a life of prostitution at age 15. My prior sentences merely set up the story.
Ugly Young Thing is an excellent psychological/suspense thriller made even better by outstanding narration.

Don't need to read the first in series to enjoy
What did you love best about Ugly Young Thing?
I did not read the first in this series, and it didn't matter. This story has a lot of surprising twists and the ending was such a surprise. It really held me and was not predictable. It's creepy and sad, yet there is a hopeful element as well. Looking forward to reading more by this author.

From the first chapter I was hooked--absolutely did not want to stop listening. Characters were so well defined and were alive for me! The book sucked me into it! Stimulating and at the end, I took a deep breath and wished Ms Biddy and Allie blue skies and green lights in their new home! Thanks, Jennifer, for another great story!

It couldn't keep my attention
I absolutely loved Never Smile at Strangers, I couldn't put it down! I was actually very excited for this book to pick up where it left off, however it couldn't keep my attention. I kept finding myself needing a break because I kept getting bored. I don't think it HORRIBLE and it does have some moments that I enjoyed listening but overall it definitely isn't what I was expecting or hoping for.

Gripping!!
An absolutely amazing follow up sequel. Jaynes is far and away one of the best novelist I have read in a long time. The story line is exceptional and suspenseful. The main characters are real and engaging. This book will keep you immersed until the end and leave you guessing. If you're looking for something to keep you up at night far after you've finished reading then this is the book for you!! Can't wait to read the final installment.
