About this listen
I’ve meticulously planned my escape. But fate has other plans…
Today’s the day. The things I’ve packed are hidden away and I’m waiting for the go-ahead to collect the keys to the new house.
I’m so close to escaping Justin’s moods, his drinking and his violent tendencies, which are gradually getting worse. His promises of change mean nothing anymore and I’ve got to get away from him.
But a national lockdown has just been announced.
My current four walls are now my prison and my dreams of freedom lay in tatters. Pregnant, asthmatic and terrified, the danger outside feels deadlier than the danger within, so I have no choice other than to accept my current fate. After all, we’re all in this together, right?
Wrong. Justin now has me exactly where he wants me, and the three weeks of government restrictions stretch before me like a gaping void.
As my life spirals into despair, I navigate the darkest corners of my empty existence and I’m sinking fast. Justin severs my contact with family and friends and his coercive control tightens like a noose. While the outside world is in turmoil, my deadliest adversary lurks within - the person I’m forced to live with.
With concerned neighbours attempting to reach out to me, Justin’s sinister web around the two of us tightens, especially when the help that’s being offered poses a direct threat to him. The situation is unbearable, and things eventually reach a breaking point.
Either one of us could survive the inevitable confrontation.
And either one of us could die.

Story
It was supposed to be a holiday to fix the cracks in our fractured family. I knew the seven days would be endless, but I never imagined that one of us would only survive for six of them… As I carry my case into the charming and rustic cottage and smile at my sister-in-law, Kelli, I allow myself a moment of hope. Perhaps this holiday will force our family to address our long-held grudges and leave with the promise of a happier future.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Interesting idea for a story but fell short
The main character drove me insane in that she would not just kick out the abusive husband. He was horrid to her, she knew it, he was awful to her kids, she had ample opportunity and still she continued to live with him. I fully understand an abused woman being afraid to leave for a multitude of reasons, and have nothing but the utmost sympathy for them. This woman could have spoken up a number of times and chose not to do so.
I also had a big problem with the narration. The narrator had a perfectly lovely voice when reading the material, however, when the characters conversed with one another, her voice totally changed. It bordered on screeching, and to me was like nails on a chalkboard. I wish she had simply used her normal speaking voice throughout.

Suspenseful story!!
This is a very enjoyable and thrilling read! The writing and storyline are very well written. There’s lots of suspense and twists, which kept me engaged from the beginning to the end. Remembering the crazy lockdowns from the beginning of Covid was a tough memory, but accurate in the struggles.

Very realistic book .
I liked how the story was told and narrated by all characters in the book. The story itself was very relatable. We were all warned heavily about how the shutdowns and threat of Covid could add stress and make already bad home life’s even worse. Sry well done on this book . Thank you for writing this .
