Good Ghost Story Oddly Narrated

Revisado: 02-22-25

This book uses an automated voice or whatever. Like the voice setting that will read an article to you. It (mostly) did surprisingly well. There were a few little things like the voice saying "read" (reed) when it should have been "read" (red.) Nothing huge. I DEFINITELY think it would have been better if the narration was able to show appropriately voiced fear. (It was a spooky book.) Had the "narrator" been able to convey how scared the characters were, it would have added a lot to the book. It was good though. Not an easy guess & was able to maintain a decent mystery.
PLUS!!! I was really familiar with the location setting. I grew up about 35 minutes from there!

Oh. My. God.

Best Caroline Overington book I have read yet. I am RARELY a 5⭐️ reviewer. This got them across the board. The ominous buildup continued through the whole book, the narrator nailed every pitch and up and down, and then the end smacked me in my face.

Dragggggsss

Revisado: 01-08-25

It could have been a good story, but it could have been done in wayyyy less than 10 hours. I kept waiting for a twist or something exciting & took a break with only 4 hours left. I RARELY do that. Good performance, but it's probably like a Frieda McFadden where the climax is in the last 5 min, but most of the book gets boring. At least McFadden's books get shorter and shorter.

Bad Reviews??

Revisado: 12-12-24

I RARELY give 5 🌟s
I had to go back at the end and re-read the reviews that made me question starting this. Even more so now, I know I would NEVER take a book suggestion from those people - we clearly have different tastes.

I had started it but wasn't really paying attention and had to start over once I heard something that really grabbed me (and it was NOT the F word!) I didn't think swear words were even slightly overused and actually thought they were used appropriately & only from specific characters. It added depth and dynamic to their character. I guess people who curse are a different lot, as are those who will tolerate it in a work of fiction. I imagine they offend easily in real life. Not this guy!

The narration was great and helped keep track of the characters. It was confusing at first because I felt like I was missing something- like what do all these people have to do with one another? But of course that works out and it's different than what I ever would have thought. I read a lot of thrillers and killer-psychopath books, but this was a very pleasant change. Quick read AND free! I'll be looking for more from this authot!

If You Have a Uterus (or not) - Read this!!

Revisado: 07-04-24

No One Will Be Left Unscathed...This was INCREDIBLE & DEEPLY IMPACTFUL. I have read a lot of books and this was one of my most favorite EVER. If you ever questioned your morals - read it. If you stand firm in your convictions - read it. It discusses VERY sensitive & often graphic scenes of abortion, death, life, choice, religion, and LOVE!!! Such an insighful way to explore every and all situations that surround women's health care and the lack thereof. I already want to listen to it again. Worth every deeply heartfelt and gripping moment. I am not a feminist or politically active, but I cried the day the day they reversed Roe v Wade. This was written in 2018. We are in an even graver situation with women's rights and rising costs of housing, food, child care, and health insurance. My heart feels full, yet hurts. If you have a uterus - read it. And listen to the Afterword from the author. God Bless!
