Wanted More Magic & Tension Building

Revisado: 10-24-23

The plot was very original, which I did enjoy. I just wish there was more magic, tension, diving more into the ghosts on camera, mystery building and more of what Petra was capable of, instead of only being shown for a few minutes at the very end. I wanted to know more about those ghosts on camera. Her gifts were so unique and powerful and she didn’t really evolve / grow or “step into her power” the way she should. If Petra had done more of this then this would’ve felt more interesting.

Gripping thriller

Revisado: 10-06-23

This was a quick, enjoyable thriller! Highly recommend for anyone who loves a good psychological mystery. Even though I wasn’t too surprised by the twists, it was still interesting enough to capture my attention and finish this in like three days. Took off one star for the narration because her female and male voices were identical, which can get a little confusing if you momentarily miss the identification of who is speaking.

More Queer Focused than Paranormal

Revisado: 09-30-23

I loved the creepy, paranormal element… but for some reason this was VERY much a story about lesbians finding their happy ending… which doesn’t really have a place in what otherwise would have been a fantastic creepy ghost story. Also… didn’t enjoy the martyrdom theme. Sigh.

STUNNING- ABSOLUTE PERFECTION

Revisado: 12-14-22

Such a beautiful portrait of the untimely slow crawl through hospice through the eyes of the patient’s bestie. The immense love captured on every page pairs well with the unexpected but appropriate moments of comedic relief. Heartbreaking but also moments of laughter. My review isn’t doing this book justice. Just go read it you will not regret.

Loved this Love Story

Revisado: 12-02-22

At first I thought, is this actual love or just hormones and college infatuation? But then the story got more complicated and interesting and aged like a fine wine. So good.

Absolutely beautiful

Revisado: 11-28-22

I love everything about this book. So beautifully written by Christina Lauren— you have my full attention and I will absolutely read anything you write! Also, outstanding narration by Erin Mallon. Narration is so critical in Audible format! While the story has a lot of heartbreaking moments, there are equally as many heartachingly-great ones about genuine deep romantic love as well as parent-child. Highly recommend.

CANNOT stand the narrators “country boy” voice?!

Revisado: 02-12-21

I just started reading this and I simply cannot stand the voice acting for Elsa’s fathers voice. Every other character is great. I ran into the same issue when listening to Educated. I simply could not get past it. Luckily it’s not the main character. Fingers crossed I can just deal with it and listen to this story because I am interested!!!

Captivating story, but the voices selected could be better

Revisado: 12-07-17

Loved the storyline— I was interested immediately. Just when you think you know the whole story, the plot thickens with another twist, which I love. All of the main characters were well developed and complex, possessing both likable and undesirable traits. I was often questioning about the characters motives and who they really are and what was going to unfold next. The *only* thing that keeps it from all around 5 stars was the cheesy “1920’s detective” voice that just isn’t real life and annoyed me every time the Gabe character spoke. It took away from my imagination envisioning the story unfolding from his perspective because all I could focus on was how annoying and unrealistic his voice was and how I couldn’t wait for him to stop speaking.
