Great story about World War 2, Family, Love and Loss. It switches between 2 different times. I loved all of it!

Excellent story on sex trafficking.

Excellent story on sex trafficking. Should be made into a movie. Gives the reader a glimpse of the underworld.

Like nails scratching on a blackboard.

Revisado: 03-27-21

Proud to have lived in LA all my life & at 60, listening to the narrator butcher common LA names is like listening to nails scratch across a blackboard! And I don’t understand Jana Deleon allowing these Audible books to be released with such obvious blunders! The narrator flips back and forth between LeBlank & LeBlanc (hard ‘C’) & both are wrong. LeBlanc is pronounced like LeBla. And Hebert is pronounced like A-Bear...not He-Bert!!! I could go on & on but it’s doing South LA & the story such disservice to not even say the words correctly.

INCREDIBLE story with TERRIBLE Narrator

Revisado: 03-09-21

What an INCREDIBLE story... the author has done it again! I laughed, I cried & enjoyed every word! Except for the HORRIBLE narration! I just don’t understand how the author, born & raised in LA, can turn her novels (really her babies) over to be completely butchered by the narrator. Anybody that thinks she does a good job isn’t from LA. Her pronunciation of New Orleans is bad enough but every time she said Leblanc, I felt like somebody was raking their fingernails across a blackboard! She pronounced Leblanc with a hard C & the C is supposed to be silent! I was ready to throw my device across the room! Mrs DeLeon... your Shaye Archer series is WAY too good to not have a narrator that’ll tell the stories as correctly & as richly as they deserve to be told!

INCREDIBLE Story & Series... but READ the books instead of listening to this narrator.

Revisado: 02-26-21

The continuing story of PI, Shaye Archer, was fabulous & kept me guessing the whole way through with lots of twists, turns & action. Sadly, the narrator did a terrible job! She mispronounced common LA words & names (Thibodeaux, Lake Maurepas, etc.) & those mistakes could have easily been rectified with a little research. Also, her voice sounds very robotic & the different characters all sound the same, making it difficult to tell who’s suppose to be talking. I don’t understand why Jana doesn’t have a flavorful Cajun or expressive New Orleans native narrating these stories!!! It would add so much more authenticity to her stories! The Shaye Archer psychological mystery series is top notch tho... so just read the books instead of listening to them. *NOTE - the books in the “Shaye Archer” series are NOT “Stand Alone” Books & need to be read in order or you’ll be totally lost. You may also want to read them back to back, like I’m doing, so you don’t forget too many of the important details from the previous book.

Recommend!

Revisado: 02-25-21

The story was great and kept me interested the whole way through with lots of twists, turns & action. While the narrator did an ok job on some of the voices, the 2 main character’s voices (the nurse & the PI she employs) sounded too much the same & I often couldn’t tell which one was suppose to be talking. That was the only thing that made the book not as enjoyable tho and so this might be a series that is better read than listened to. *NOTE - the books in the “Shaye Archer” series are NOT “Stand Alone” Books & need to be read n order or you’ll be totally lost. You may also want to read them back to back, like I’m doing, so you don’t forget too many of the important details from the previous book.

Narrator is GREAT!

Revisado: 02-23-21

I could listen to this narrator read the phone book... she has such a soothing voice with all the right inflections, etc. I’ve listened to all 3 stories in this series and like this one the least. It had to many fragmented parts going on. While I like this series overall, there are 2 big things that take away from it. One is the foul language, including lots of “F” bombs & using Christ’s name in vain. I don’t understand why authors do this... it’s offensive to many, is so unnecessary, adds nothing to the story & cuts back on the authors potential sales. The 2nd thing is the very sudden & abrupt endings to her books. The author tries to wrap everything up in a final epilogue but it feels very rushed, anticlimactic & all the answers aren’t tied up like they should be.

One of the BEST EVER Audible books!

Revisado: 01-29-21

This story captured me from the very beginning because of the 2 narrators. Their voices are captivating & they made me visualize everything... there’s a real chemistry between them. And the story just got better and better... I HAD to know what was going to happen next because I grew to really care about the characters. It felt like I was listening in to a conversation the entire time, rather than listening to someone reading a book. Incredible all the way around! Highly Recommend!!!

Never Finished

Revisado: 07-10-19

Never Finished although I listened and gave it as much of a chance as possible... it rambled on and on and I just couldn’t get into it.

Think it would’ve been better if I had read it myself.

Revisado: 05-12-18

The narrator sounded VERY angry and rushed throughout the entire book & it made enjoying the story very difficult for me. I’d definitely recommend listening to a sample first!
