The narrator was awful.

I don't think I would read another book that had this narrator. she only had two different sentence inflexions...grinding on the nerves.

audible version

The narrator sounded like she was reading to a group of second graders. Story was good, though.

Good with reservations

Essentially good, but too graphic too often for my taste. There are sick people in this story.

Narrator did pretty good, but some of her voices for different characters were not well done.

Good Read

Miss Polly had a Dolly (Emma Frost #2) was another good read by Willow Rose. Miss Polly had a beautiful daughter that she called Baby Doll. Everyday, she brushed her hair and put her in dresses before showing her off outside to the neighbor's. One day on the playground her Baby Doll talked to a boy and was distracted by a woman that said she thought her daughter was adorable. When Miss Polly turned around her daughter was adorable. When Miss Polly turned around her daughter was gone. Emma Frost hears about the disappearance many years later. She also learns that other girls went missing from Fanoe Island back in the nineties. I enjoyed reading Emma Frost's story of entangling the web of strange events. I can't wait to read more by Willow Rose.

This one really had me shivering!!

Willow Rose is definitely the Queen of Scream! This book will make you shiver and shake. The twists and turns are incredible. The narrator did a marvelous job with this one--it really shook me up!

Very unusual

I thought this would be more like a detective novel. It was more like a satire. Few of the main characters did not seem like they accepted things that were going on were real. Like Sofia and her father.

Miss Polly had a Dolly

This is the second book in the series and I really enjoyed the story, getting to know more about Emma Frost and her family too. The book has many twists and turns. The narration is good.

This won't be everybody's cup of tea.

First, a caveat: this book isn't for everybody. There is a heavy dose of human trafficking and child abuse. Graphic child abuse. You have been warned.

Now, on the story and what I liked. I enjoyed Victor's arc, and how his undiagnosed condition might be (and quite certainly is) a paranormal ability. I liked how convoluted and complex the plot was. I liked how all the threads come together at the end.

What I didn't like was the probably non-intentional association between been transgender and been a sadistic, out-of-his-head killer. And the fact that said killer remember me a lot to the one on 'The Silence of the Lambs'

Sarah Feenah does a competent job with the narration.
