First person narrating

I love books that are narrative in first person and I love this narrator! The story is very compelling and also heart gripping! The lies and desperation are so entwined!

Needed this!

This story was intriguing but relatable. It was just what I personally needed when I needed it. The emotion was so real. The characters were so alive. I really enjoyed this ride.

Twist

Adele Parks is amazing with twist and turns, I’m continually surprised and anxious to find out what happens next.

Joanne Froggatt!!!!

Is the best narrator ever in my book. I saw this book in my recommendations and I almost overlooked it because the art they chose looked cheesy but as soon as I saw Joanne F was the narrator I didn’t even read the synopsis I bought it immediately as the last and only book she narrated was so darn good! I listened to it in two days, a record I think!

This book filled me with rage so much so I was shaking at times in fury. And thankfully no one was at home when I was yelling at the characters while cooking dinner! This book brings a whole new meaning to the adage ‘hell hath no fury...’

The narration is top notch, but the book itself is a slow burn and I actually think it could have been edited much shorter. For the first half I was wondering if they were ever going to get to the meat of the story, but when it does it’s a wild ride. I had to keep telling myself it’s just a book because I was entirely too embroiled in the story. The concept was new to me which was refreshing because so many thrillers these days go by a similar formula and insist an implausible twist is what readers want. This book is worth a credit for Joanne’s narration alone!

It was a good book. Funny.

It was a good book. Funny. I kept thinking for God's sake, freaking tell him already! It's fairly easy to guess the direction of the book, it's Mel who's the hold out.

Excellent!!!

This book was very intense drama. I was on edge of my seat most of the book.

Really Good Story- Unnecessary Explicit Scenes

Thought this was a great story and Joanne Froggat (Anna : ) is an awesome narrator. I found some of the sexual scenes a bit much- especially given the nature of the characters (don't want to add a spoiler).

Jaw dropping

The craziness that is this book. This one takes revenge to a whole new level. Absolutely jaw dropping and amazing. I need to listen to it again.

A Great Listen

Even though I found the book predictable, I really enjoyed listening. The characters were so well developed. It felt like I knew them. The plot was also very well thought out and put together. The book is long but didn't feel slow. I'd say it's worth the credit.

An Interesting Complicated Story

I really enjoyed the characters in this book. The book definitely held my attention. Many different types of relationship dynamics are explored throughout while the characters struggle dealing with real life issues.
