UGH .... I wanted to like it.

Revisado: 03-14-25

I wanted to like it ... I really did but the bad outweighed the good by a country mile.

The beginning had promise. I kept waiting for the plot and character development to improve but it just didn't.

To be honest, the the last 45 minutes was so painful to listen to. The way it was wrapped up at the end was not believable. The main character Nicole ... FBI agent ... did not behave as one would expect in many of the scenes especially toward the end.

The narrator was just okay. Overall, very disappointing ... would not recommend.

Okay Listen

Revisado: 03-02-25

2/3 of the book I enjoyed for the most part .. 1/3 ... the way it was wrapped up ... not so much. It seemed rushed and completely unbelievable.

Also did not enjoy the interjection of the authors political ideas / beliefs. I did not sign up for that. If I wanted to hear political views I turn on the news or start a book specifically about politics.

The book isn't a total waste of time; admittedly, but the end is a stretch so if things like that both you maybe skip it.

Narrator was pretty good .. and honestly helped when the content was hard to listen to.

Let down

Revisado: 12-10-23

Listen to this book right after finishing the Midwife of Auchwitz (which I enjoyed).

This book was quite the let down. The two main characters (sisters: Olivia & Pippa) did not have very good character development in my opinion. Olivia (having been raised with the Jewish faith) seemed so willing to start living her life in an immortal way ... there never seemed to be any conscious "push back". That leads me to my biggest fail for the book ... there were multiple detailed sex scenes. I am an adult ... I know ..
but was not prepared for it as the first book was not like that. I do not feel these scenes added anything of value to the story.
I cannot recommend and will not be buying any of her other books ... which is a shame ... since i was looking forward to the subject matter.

Me .. me .. me

Revisado: 12-10-23

The premise was very promising. Narrator was pretty good ... but the two lead female characters (Sofia & her Mother) were so selfish and so
just plain awful to the father that I found them incredibly hard to like.
I will not spoil it but the half baked schemes they come up with .. especially toward the end .. were totally unbelievable. Much of the story was just useless dialogue ... the epilogue did not even help with feeling good about the book. Frankly, I was glad to see it end.

Not what I expected but good

Revisado: 01-10-23

Never have I liked and disliked a main character so much at the same time. The plot and premise were not what I expected but I do not feel it detracted at all from the listening pleasure. I would recommend.

Predictable but....

Revisado: 12-30-22

I found the plot predictable but the story was still engaging enough to keep me listening until the end.

Started with a bang but...

Revisado: 05-10-22

Started with a bang but ended with a fizzle. I initially enjoyed the story very much but at approximately chapter 18 I was wandering where the plot went .. the story became very dull and the ending was anticlimactic and unsatisfying.

I was disappointed as a whole.

My first time reading this author. The story was engaging. Bought this one solely based on fact was narrated by Bronson Pinchot ...
