Reseñas de la Crítica

"A sexy, mysterious, and enthralling story." (Claire Contreras, author of There Is No Light in Darkness)

wow!!! MIND BLOWING!

i I love the story but I did not expect the end of it. I would like to read more of this type of stories. It was very well narrated.

TRIGGER WARNING!!

This book contains sexual violence and other kinds of abuse, and graphic depictions of mental illness. If you are sensitive to those topics, this is probably not the story for you. I am not, and it was upsetting. It's a well written story, just very heavy.

Set in the South

If you love, narrator, Angela Dawe and her southern accent EG Karen Robards Justice, then this book is for you. A lot of dark scenes. So make sure you carefully read the publisher summary as well as the reviews. Always check most helpful. Were my comments of help?

wow

There wasn't as much suspense as I was looking for and it's heavy on the sex scenes but definitely worth listening to just for the twist. I never saw it coming.

Perplexed

The subject matter in this book is very disturbing. If you trigger easy for inhumane crimes this book might not be for you. That being said. I thought the authors story to be intricate and cleverly told. You really get a sense of what is unfolding, early on. That's a bit disappointing. However if you redirect your mind to approach from the plot, the story becomes more appealing. I was uncomfortable with the ease the author wrote in comparison of one event to the other. I'm not certain that the two instances of the same event in different circumstances was truly relevant to the story. Overall good enough story.

great story

great story. very interesting. the narration was beautiful. will listen to it again some time.

A More Relatable Gone Girl

If you like twists, mysteries, and cheering for a relatable protagonist, I highly recommend this book. I could not stop listening to it! Easily 10/10.

lots of gratuitous sex

Its ok, not great. The sex was a bit graphic. Could have had more subtext.

Predictable & Embarrassing

Embarrassed that I bought this. If you have any MH training or education this book reads as ignorant and exploitive. I won’t be finishing this ‘read’ as it’s incredibly disingenuous and makes a mockery of trauma. Gross.

A lot of superfluous detailed sex

I didn't think it contributed much, and I believe it would've been a much better book without it. I also saw the ending coming and I was disappointed that it was predictable.
