performance was very good

Revisado: 04-20-25

I went thru all books and enjoyed. however, pay a lot of attention as the plot is convoluted at times.

Scooby Doo meets a Lifetime Movie

Revisado: 02-02-24

This was a painful listen as the characters were so YA and angsty. So many logic defying moments I cannot believe an editor signed off on it. Final chapters converge at odd angles pretending to make sense. not recommending to anyone.

never let's go of your attention

I really like how the author tells a story and fills it with engaging characters. and how she always delivers with a climax.

I could never recommend this to anyone!

struggled to finish the disjointed plot...writing was sophomoric...but the flirtation between characters was plain painful to listen to.

Written by AI?

Revisado: 04-30-23

I kept waiting for the story to get some traction, but it never did. It had all the bad plots elements commonplace it today's TV writing...reversing the character development at the last minute for convenience of story, broad generic hints at backstory that become forgotten when they don't support the climax. And all is accepted at the end; these people only did evil things because they had to. But an AI program will write it that way when you ask it to.

why did he bother to write this?

Revisado: 03-24-23

Pretty disappointing as all the twists were predictable and the payoff was freshman fiction first draft. The pacing made me very impatient and I resorted to random skips ahead of 30 seconds with no need to ever backup for a detail. I stuck with it to the end in hopes of finding something enjoyable...but the plot remained a bland salad.

yet another cliche twist ending

Revisado: 09-12-22

I may be the only one, but I am getting weary of the closing chapter "I found love" cliche being magnified by more cliches...

truly awful and amateurish

Revisado: 08-26-22

I almost stopped after the first chapter, instead deciding to ride it out and see how much worse the writing would be...it, and the plotting, are plain awful.
I chose this on sale title as I enjoy thrillers and I have wonderful memories of living in the corn belt. Clearly the author is my opposite! This is not an enjoyable tale or a captivating mystery, the surprise twist at the end is less a twist and more an excuse for meandering chapters of uninteresting observations of people the lead character holds in utter disdain. I could go on pointlessly, but then I would sound like the author.

Woke Gospels Linked by Weak Storytelling

Revisado: 08-08-22

at no point did I think "I can't wait to see how this finishes"... at many points I wondered if a computer wrote the sections not discussing gene therapy, the characters lacked realism, therefore the story never drew the reader in. as for the woke content; remember when we read books to escape the negatives in everyday life...no getting away from it in this book.
