Wow!!!

Revisado: 12-21-24

The only reason I gave this less than 5 stars across the board was because of the ending. I am so frustrated with how it ended. It’s worth the listen for sure and it’s a great story, but I feel very unsettled with that ending.

HORRIBLE Narrator

Revisado: 12-07-24

I am really enjoying this story, and I would like to read the second in the story. Key word - READ. This narrator is so bad. Her voice is monotone and there is no difference in characters. I’m begging whoever casts these to never use this narrator again.

The story is great. Characters are interesting. I would recommend the book. Not the audible version though.

Interesting concept

Revisado: 11-10-23

The plot of this book is very interesting. It might be a better read than an audible book though. Here are my thoughts:

The author reads parts of the story, and his voice is HORRIBLE! The way he sounds versus the way his character is presented are totally different. I cringe every time he comes on. And I know Scott Brick is a popular narrator, but he sometimes gets on my nerves. It’s the same cadence and same intonation over and over.

I looked up the author, and he apparently is a big game hunter. Even if you don’t know that, you can assume it given the disdain for animal rights and anti-hunting proponents in this book. There is one part where the character goes on a several minute rant about the anti-hunting happenings in the 1990s in Africa - it is unnecessary and slows the pace of the chapter.

This happens with other characters, too - they retell the story (almost like a recap) or they blather on in their thoughts to the point that you don’t care. I’m not crazy about the main two lead characters either. For younger people, they don’t seem too tech savvy or quick.

I’m about 3/4 finished, and I want to see how it ends. It’s a good concept. I would definitely read it though (instead of listening) so you can skip the author’s voice and the pages of worthless ranting.

Good story; hard to follow

Revisado: 10-31-22

There was too much action to really follow what was going on. Lots of loud noises without knowing what was going on. Lunch was fantastic though.

Great story - horrible narration

Revisado: 06-24-22

This is an original and interesting story! It blends police procedural with supernatural elements.

The narrator, however, is not good at all! His voice isn’t nice to listen to and there is no difference in the voices, so it gets confusing at times. The ONLY reason I kept listening is because of the story. I really wish I could have just read it.

Worth the Read

Revisado: 04-21-21

I have read all books by these authors and been really impressed. This is not the best of their books, but is still original and kept me guessing. My only complaint was with the main character, Shay. At times she was so weak-willed and malleable that it was annoying. I had a hard time understanding her motivation or lack thereof. I would still recommend the book and all others by these authors.

Good Narration, Not-so-Good Plot

Revisado: 04-21-21

I liked the idea of this story, and the narrator is pretty good. The main character, on the other hand, is irritating. She is supposed to be very smart but doesn't act like it. The author uses A LOT of narration for what is going on in the character's thoughts. If the character was having a real conversation with a person while having that many thoughts going around her head, there would be a 10 minute pause between a question and her answer. I couldn't wait for the ending just so I could see how it turned out and thought about fast forwarding just to get there. The book is very meh.

Confusing and monotone

Revisado: 03-23-21

I was so confused by this story. After the first hour of listening, about the only thing I could think was that the author got good use out of his thesaurus. It got frustrating for me because it seemed like the author went out of his way to use flowery words when simpler ones would have sufficed. It's not that I didn't understand the words, but it was overkill.

The narrator was pretty monotone and it was hard to follow the characters at times since she barely changed her voice.

I did not like this one.

Definitely worth the listen

Revisado: 01-31-20

The story is very good with an ending I really didn’t see coming. Narrator is pretty good, but not great.

I did notice that a dog in the story was noted to be a Rottweiler and then later in the story it was called a pit bull. Same dog, two completely different breeds. That has nothing to do with the story, but it bugged me.
