History is written by the Victors...well, what about he stories we never hear?

Revisado: 10-25-24

Was a great read and a remarkable listen. Brings a personal perspective to what happens to real people as those in charge simply move pieces around a map. We MUST remember the past in order to see what is coming and prevent it

Enchanting and an instant classic

Revisado: 09-18-24

I am a precept if the story. I'm print, through music, a good audiobook, or even a good binge watch. I've always had moments where these stories continued on... I don't want to give away to much. But, if you live a good story, this is a book for you.

Devastated and Confused

Revisado: 08-10-24

1st, the change in narraor was worst decision ever. not that Ms Erivo is isn't a wonderful actress, she was simply not right for this. Boni Turpin brought life to these characters and this story in such an amazing way and that a change felt like it just obliterated all of the continuity of the first 2 books. It felt like a betrayal. When you have to restart a chapter to figure out the perspective, it destroys the flow of everything and kills the dynamic of the story.

2nd This was utterly exhausting to read or listen to. After 4 years of waiting, we get what should have been a separate, standalone novel of another world and new characters bc there was little to no connection to the brilliant tapestry of storytelling we were accustomed to.

Sorry Tomi, this one was a HUGE disappointment. For the readers, so at Book 2 and just imagine your own ending for the series, I guarantee that this is NOT what it will look like.

Like a dark, old world fable, much like it's predecessor, Hex, Oracle shies you away from what goes bump in the night.

Like a dark, old world fable, much like it's predecessor, Hex, Oracle shies you away from what goes bump in the night. It has a different feel for American readers, as the Dutch have a slightly different way of doing things. Definitely read Hex before Oracle though.;)

Not a fan of the Virtual Narration, won't be doing that again

Revisado: 03-27-24

Story held promise, a bit predictable for me in the end. Virtual Narration was distracting and author could benefit from the use of beta Readers to identify inconsistencies and reputation in several areas, surprised editors didn't catch.
Definitely not going on the listen again list.

Beautiful tale of liberation and self discovery in a desperate time

Revisado: 03-21-24

Brilliant performance and entrancing story of a woman standing up for herself, breaking out of her sheltered life and learning to live and becoming her true self. I'm the beginning, it's hard to imagine possessing the bravery to do what she managed to do, But, as with anything friendship & love make everything possible.

Freaking Brilliant!

TW: Miscarriage
It would have been easy to have written this from a grieving mother's perspective. No, not Joe. It is so seldom that a father's loss is recognized, much less explored. Well DONE!

All tied up in bloody little bows...

Revisado: 04-21-23

When I initially read the description (while anxiously awaiting the next installment of Safe Haven) I had my doubts about the genre shift, while it falls in my list of go-to's, I was curious to see how he he would execute his usual character format. Here, here are these people, they Ate a little nuts, but a family in the end... you love who your are supposed to and detest the bad guys. Next thing you know, he decides to flip that on its head. Overall, ending was perfection and very well executed 🤭

Totally confused by earlier reviews

Revisado: 10-06-22

I found the level of drama perfect for the characters, the trauma they had experienced, were experiencing, etc. This definitely is not a light listening book. The story and narrator switch fluidly between characters, news reports, excerpts from FBI files and religious context throughout. everything is relevant and is used to build suspense and an immersive experience within the story. IMO, it is beautifully done and is a perfect melding of the thriller/true crime genre to get this story across.
