The definition of uneasy

Revisado: 02-28-25

Without being explicit, this book made me feel so uneasy from the first chapter. Telling this story from the perspective of a young teen girl just hit close to home, because I think most young girls have felt uncomfortable the way Cassie felt throughout the book. Whether the uneasiness came from family, friends, or strangers, growing up as a girl is never easy, and yet Cassie was forever hopeful and optimistic. This is the story of girlhood and perseverance. Although maybe not for everyone, I truly think it's a story that needed to be shared.

Getting To Know Harry

Revisado: 02-21-25

I was so happy to finally get a peek into Harry's mind and his overwhelming guilt over his sister's disappearance. I loved the mystery of this story as well, following the twists and turns to figuring out the killer alongside Van and Harry was lots of fun. That ending though! Oh my gosh! Can't wait for the next book!

Great ending!

Revisado: 03-07-24

I really enjoyed the twists in this book! The narrator did a great job with the many different voices as well. Can't wait for the next Raisa story later this year!

Are we helpless to become our mothers?

Revisado: 12-06-23

I was absolutely enthralled from beginning to end with this story. It feels like it was written in short stories that just happened to create a book, and Marin Ireland's cool, detached voice fit the women characters so well. Everything led up to and surrounded one moment, but the relationships of mothers and daughters throughout was the real story to me. Women suffer so much in life, in so many different ways, and that was set on display in the book. I will definitely read more from this author, and I'm a huge fan of Marin Ireland now too.

Just engrossed from beginning to end

I came for the Brittany Pressley narration and stayed for the engaging, back-and-forth story of Maggie Byrd and friends. I hope more comes from the Martini Club!

A new fighting crime duo!

Revisado: 10-28-23

I really liked how Van is a VERY flawed character, and not just because of her trauma. She's imperfect but she's stubborn and that's always a fun combo for a main character. Harry as her handsome but straight-laced partner is a good match for her. I did like how procedural this was, even if it did drag at times.

My only real complaint is the editing of the narration. The narrator was great, but there were times where dialogue blurred together without the right pauses and it got confusing trying to figure out who was speaking. But other than that, a really solid story! I'm looking forward to the next one!

Twist Extravaganza!

Revisado: 10-13-23

I don't think I've ever listened to a book with so many twists. Wow. I thought at one point the story dragged a bit, but once I got to the end, it all made sense. Don't give up on this book...the ending is two-hours long and non-stop revelations. Loved the narration too!

Captivating from beginning to end

Revisado: 09-21-23

Best book I've listened to all year. The author really captures the pure rage women have when we are harassed and misunderstood and helpless on a daily basis. We take the power back in this book, and it's glorious. 100/10.

You won't be disappointed!

Revisado: 09-15-23

I ALMOST gave up toward the end because I thought the ending didn't fit the narrative. But the REAL ending is perfect and suddenly it all makes sense. I loved the main character's battle with mental illness and guilt, and all of the side characters were great too. I also loved the narrator, who did a good job with different voices and emotions the characters felt.

Disturbing but awesome look into serial killers

Revisado: 01-09-23

I loved Anne Frasier's Jude Fontaine series because of her ability to really capture Jude's mental state, and how that either helped or hindered Jude with her cases. The same holds true for how she wrote Reni Fisher, and it kept me hooked throughout the whole book. I also really enjoyed the narrator, which always helps. Off to listen to the next in the series!
