Could have been better

Revisado: 01-28-24

The story was a great premise. The flow of the story seem to stutter in areas. The narrator was ho-hum. It could have been much better. Loved that the story was all wrapped up.

Too Slow and too Many long pauses

Revisado: 08-08-21

The narration was too slow and there were too many long pauses. I was listening to this at a speed of 1.5 and still the pauses were killing me. I might try to read this book, but don't waste an audible credit. There are far better books out there to use your credits on this.

Superb!

Revisado: 04-08-21

I’ve never written a review of a book before this was a riveting, well told story, with wonderful narration that had me enthralled to the very end.

Need more soon!

I enjoyed the book, especially the cheeky dialogue. Can’t wait for the next edition. This isn’t just for the young; I’m 49 and enjoyed the quick listen.

Pleasantly Surprised!

Revisado: 09-07-18

At first I didn't want to listen to yet another vampire book. But wow...this is not like any of the others I've read before. I really enjoyed it and the time went by in nothing flat. I'm ready to start the next book in the series. I'm invested in the characters and ready to see what happens next for them.

OK. Different. Give it a Try

Revisado: 05-26-18

The narrator did a great job; loved her. With regards to the book, the first 50% of the book I thought about getting my money back. My mind was often ahead of the characters actions. I was ready for action and she would still be mulling things over or agonizing over them. I found this very frustrating given the situation she was in. By the end of the book though I found myself reflecting back and wondering though if I had really been in her shoes would I have been as decisive and action oriented as I wanted the character to be. During the second half of the book the character became more decisive and we were not subjected to all the character's thoughts. I also don't like poor mothers and the characters mothering skills were somewhat questionable at the beginning. The end was suitable for the storyline and the character. The ending may be frustrating for those who like them summed up as happily ever after or 100% resolved.

A Brilliantly Done book

Revisado: 04-29-18

This was truly a wonderful story performed beautifully. I'm so grateful for writers like Gemma who can weave a sad time as WWII and Nazi Germany into a story with love and kindness richly woven into the trials so many experienced. The strength and voice given to all the characters will stay with me for a long time. It's a serious at times due to nature of Nazi Germany and what they did to Jews and others but well worth the investment of listening.

Don't waste your time

Revisado: 04-20-18

It's written with unnecessary crude language. I don't object when it truly fits but it's like the author was trying to go for something really erotic but missed the boat. Also, the story is no where near being done, leaves you hanging on a 6 hr recording. Likely could have put two of the books together to give better resolution to story. This one literally ends with the couple walking out the door with their luggage on their way to somewhere...

Unique Story done very well

Revisado: 04-03-18

Any additional comments?

This was a unique story all of it's own. Like none other that I have read. I truly enjoyed it. it's marked as a series but I don't know how this could be.

Disappointing ending

Revisado: 04-03-18

What did you like best about this story?

That it wrapped up the series definitively

What does Kate Rudd bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She gave a wonderful performance and colored the characters in a way I might not have if I had just read the book.

Any additional comments?

The ending was so disappointing. I get why she did it this way but I just cried and cried and was sad for several days. It was an ending that was so depressing.
