What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “I never gotten SO lost in a book, EVER! “
I put this book in my “favorites/ 5star” before I even finished. It’s so rare to get a book this spicy, that also takes you on such a twisty emotional ride, and made me tear up! I was hooked at chapter one! And even though the first couple twists were obvious, the 1/2 half had me biting my nails. Yet it still had a satisfying ending. Lastly I would listen to ANY book with Laura H. And Anthony Palmini!— Jesse Ruiz, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Wonderful Narration & Entertaining “
Absolutely captivating story with a brilliant plot that kept me hooked from start to finish. I experienced the full spectrum of emotions—laughing one moment and tearing up the next. The narration was superb; the voice actors truly brought the characters to life. I’ll definitely be adding to my re-listen list. Highly recommended.— Amazon Customer, Audible listener
