Sorry, the narration is awful

Revisado: 11-12-23

I appreciate that the narrator is Russian, but the narration is so bad, I feel like she’s just reading a book. And even stumbling over words. I still had several hours left in the story when I had to return it. I have no idea whether the story is good or not. I had a very hard time following it.

I loved it!

Revisado: 09-19-23

Thank you for writing this book and exposing the truth of your family and it’s involvement in Bill Gothard’s cult. I am immensely impressed by you and your husband Derick. You addressed difficult issues with grace and kindness. You are truly classy, and Derick is a rockstar, in my opinion. Would love to read another book by you in the future. God bless you.

The ending is bewildering

Revisado: 07-18-23

To say the least, the ending is anti-climactic. I was truly stunned and hope for a sequel. Otherwise, the book is very interesting and thought-provoking. Would make a great movie. Maybe with a different ending.

I love the story, but …

Revisado: 04-24-23

I truly wish we could pick the narrator. This woman had very little differences in inflection for different characters. Everyone pretty much sounded the same. She speaks as though she is about 100 years old, with a mouth full of spit and very loose dentures. I found myself cringing way too many times. I’m not sure I will listen to the rest of the series if she is the narrator.

Oh gawd

I listened for about 20 minutes, hoping I’d like it. Finally, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I ended my suffering. I Don’t like this strange style of writing. Proceed at your own risk.

Predictable. And long.

Revisado: 03-29-22

I found the narration annoying. She’s breathy and a bit whiny sounding. Her accents were not exactly on point. And the descriptive sex was a bit much for me. I don’t enjoy smut books. I kept listening, all the while remembering my mother’s words, “Life is too short to read bad books”. I did listen all the way through. I won’t be listening to the other books in the series, unless of course they are free through the library.

Well, I did finish it

Revisado: 03-10-22

The story reads like a hallmark movie - with raunchy adultery added. I rather reluctantly kept listening, even through the horrible narration and my own eye rolling.

The narrator had a very weird way of pronouncing the daughter’s name. Since it’s my own daughter’s name, I found it extremely annoying. Perhaps it’s the Irish Celtic way of pronouncing it. I don’t know. But it grated on me. You won’t like it either. Guarantee it.

Falling in love, deep love, after knowing someone for 3 days, is ridiculous enough, but the fact this guy (Alec) keeps sleeping with Fiona after her husband’s near death - well that’s just insane.

And what’s even more insane? At the end of the book, Alec comes back after 6 years apart, and immediately proposes to Fiona - with his dead wife’s wedding ring! I realize that a man wrote this book, because no woman on earth would write that into a story. I’d prefer a new ring, thank you very much. Not his dead first wife’s!

I keep thinking about the hours of my life that I’ve lost listening to this book. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your hours too. You’re welcome.

Didn’t like the ending

Revisado: 12-09-21

The story was interesting. It kept me engaged. Narration good. But that ending really didn’t make sense that me. It didn’t go the direction I thought it would and it left a giant void for the main character. You never found out what happened to him.

Loved it!

Caroline Lee is a favorite narrator and she did not disappoint! The story was wonderful. I only wish it didn’t end the way it did. I felt there was more story to tell. Overall a really great book. Good job.

Predictable

Revisado: 03-03-21

I couldn’t get past the narrator’s older lady voice. These are supposed to be young women, not 65 year old spinsters. Returned it.
