not sure what all the hype was about

Revisado: 01-16-25

it was ok. glad i finished it. tough to keep up with all the female characters & the time line jumps. didn't think it was a huge mystery. liked the ending even tho it was easy to predict. no shocking revelations. the narrator was good altho there was no change or inflection between the characters. that's what made it hard to keep up with all the females - they all sounded exactly the same. the characters were well developed & liked or disliked appropriately. not sure where the title came from. don't know who the God of the Woods was supposed to be. can see where the YA age group may appreciate it more than this old lady.

nothing like the first one

Revisado: 01-04-25

i tried but i couldn't follow the story. so many strange names for people & towns - couldn't keep them straight. the narrator has some kind of odd accent that didn't help. i gave up.

good start

Revisado: 12-21-24

interesting twists. made me stop & backup. did i really just hear that?? took a while to get really good but i was glad i stuck with it. once i understood the author's rhythm, i was hooked. didn't even bother me that there was no distinction between male & female dialogues. looking forward to book 2.

not one of his best

Revisado: 11-14-24

no one hits it out of the park every time. the story was tedious, altho i did stick with it cuz i couldn't figure out whodunit ... until i did. the performance was so over the top, overly dramatic, only made the bad story even worse. as negative as that all sounds, i'm glad i finished it but its defiinitely not one i'll ever listen to again.

not my cup of tea

Revisado: 09-28-24

not a period of time i'm at all interested in. because i've loved every other book of his i still gave it a try, but nothing about the story interested me. i was raised by depression era parents & heard all their hard luck stories. that's all i could think about while listening so couldn't get excited about anything. i'll keep reading his other books.

nothing like his other books

Revisado: 09-27-24

don't think i was really the audience he was writing for. too much social media. the sessions with Cathy got tedious, all the repeating what she was doing, but i stuck with it to the end. i enjoyed the little bit of romance. that was new & just the right amount. i've enjoyed many of his other books more, but i'll stick with him.

good ending to the series

Revisado: 08-31-24

overall not as good as #2, but a good way to end the series. i'm a little disappointed that its done because i came to like most of the characters. Marvin is my favorite even tho he plays a minor part. he adds humor, always makes me smile. SPOILER ALERT; just cuz the major bad guy was finally caught was no reason to end Zoe & Tatum's story. over all i very much enjoy Mike Omer's style & plan to read more of his books.

great book

Revisado: 08-21-24

hate to be redundant but great plot, great characters, great writing, great character development. narration was slightly less than great - too dramatic & didn't care for the Boston accent, but wasn't terrible.

loved it

Revisado: 08-11-24

had first met Zoe & Tatum in the Abby Mullen series, so really enjoyed learning their backstory. think i'm going to really like this series, too.

a good last one

Revisado: 07-31-24

i've enjoyed all 3 in this series, but i'm glad its over. the negotiator lingo grew old with me. this book was good, altho about 2 hours longer than it needed to be. the ending dragged on & on. i do enjoy Omer's way of character & plot development. i'm about to start a new series of his.
