Started with a written copy, finished it via audio book and I STILL DISLIKED IT. I cannot tell you how many other books I read/listened to *in between* starting and finishing this story. It's not terribly written.... but it's certainly NOT a gripping story.

As a matter of fact, the reason I purchased an audio copy is because I couldn't get into the written version and sometimes being "read to" can open my eyes to a fantastic book (like A Wrinkle in Time, when I was a kid).

The topic is important (date rape/acquaintance rape) but the storylines seemed very jumbled with everyone having a backstory that wasn't developed. The only reason I finished it is because I paid for the audio version - had it been a library borrow, would have returned it early on.

I've been a fan of this book ever since I first read it. It's still a great story but the narrator detracts from it. I always envisioned Edward as being a sweet man and I also imagined his voice like Ray Porter's (from Project Hail Mary). Adam's voice was a little too rattle-y, a little too 'old' (and yes, I realize Edward was supposed to be middle aged but still)... I dunno it bothered me. I also didn't imagine the warrior Mandasar sounding like... Yoda. Also? Why is it that women do better men's voices than vice versa?

I preordered the Kindle before it even came out but have listened to this multiple times (usually while getting ready for work). Love the story, the characters and the narration. Worth the buy.

Vigilant is one of my favorite books from this author (Hunted, is the other). The narrator was decent, I liked her voice but (and I don't know if she did this for her character) some of her inflections were annoying. Meaning her voice would go up at the end of a sentence A LOT - a bit like a question mark when it was actually a statement. Also there were points where she either did not read what was written or it was read weird (ie. dying ALIGHT instead of dying OF THE light, "there you ARE" instead of "there you GO"). Nitpicky of me? Maybe. But like I said, this is one of my more favorite books.

I've heard some funny improvs but this was not one of them. Took a chance on it because it was rated 4.7 stars but I should have gotten a clue when ZERO people actually wrote something about it. I only listened to "Pancakes" but my headline says it all - Thank God it was free and short!
