You'll Want to Stop Time and Make Time For This!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend The Time Stopper to a friend. The story focuses on Mira- a Russian American on a quest to find out who killed her mother and father by planting a bomb in their car. She has unique skills to help her find the murderer- she can read people's thoughts, freeze time- called splitting- where everyone and everything is frozen, allowing her to not only read thoughts, but go through Russian Mobsters poker cards to ensure a winning hand, as well as their wallets and clothing, for clues that can help protect her, as well as lead her to the person who placed a bomb in her parents car, which exploded and killed them. This is a fast, thrilling, suspenseful read, that all of my friends would love!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mira, the main character of The Time Stopper, was my favorite character. She is a dynamic, driven young woman, who knows she is attractive to men- a tool she uses to her advantage, and for her own pleasure. She has the ability to stop time, read other people's thoughts-mainly Russian mobsters who may have killed her mother and father- go through their wallets, clothing and minds- learning of their crimes, desire for her and what their next move will be. Mira is a powerful, sexy, just-turned-18 year old, who is determined to find who murdered her parents. I'm always happy to find authors writing female characters who are confident, intelligent and who embrace their sexuality.

Have you listened to any of Laura Jennings’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to any of Laura Jenning's performances before.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did not have an extreme reaction to The Time Stopper, though I did find myself cheering on Mira when she took on a dangerous Russian Mobster on her own! I also found myself holding my breath as if any noise would break her ability to freeze time when she was in dangerous situations!

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the original idea of the lead character, Mira, and possibly her father having the ability to stop time, split into another dimension where she can walk around while people and objects are momentarily frozen, and read their thoughts. Imagine what you could do with such a power!
