Awesome story

I loved this book, I couldn't figure out what would happen next. I thought it was suspenseful without being a thriller. I've never read anything like it before.

A narration makes or breaks a book

While this was quite an interesting story, the narration made it impossible to listen for any length of time as it was a strange mix of slow-mo interspersed with a kind of chuckle! I had to work hard to finish this book and almost gave up several times.

Great story

I loved the story but not the narrator. She was too chirpy for this story.

Narrator all wrong

I had to give up on the audio and revert to the e-book version on my Kindle. The narrator's story time at play school delivery - replete with girly giggles - was really at odds with the content and became irritating. Aside from that, she was pretty good at accents and the story very compelling.

Persist

I didn't like the narrater, she sounded as if it was all terribly funny. However, the story, after initially having dismissed it, was griping and left me guessing till the end. I certainly recommend.

On the edge of my seat

I love this book, it’s so suspenseful and I did not predict the thrilling twists and turns that this story takes. I’ve already recommended it to multiple people and they have all loved it as well. Such an easy read but so interesting as well. I actually can’t wait to read it again! Well done Christian

Great story by the narrator is WAAYYYY to giggly.

I read a review before purchasing the book where the writer described the narrator as "play school story time" and boy were they right. She's good for the most part but she has a giggle in her voice at the most inappropriate times. Story was great though, had you guessing until the end!

A voice like a burr in your jumper....

The narrator who delivered this story made it almost impossible to listen to; an irritating performance that does the story no favours at all. The story is interesting, the writing could use a good edit but the listening to that voice was like choking on sponge cake.
