Blood Victory

A Burning Girl Thriller (The Burning Girl, Book 3)

De: Christopher Rice

Narrado por: Lauren Ezzo

On a cross-country journey to hell, fear is the engine and vengeance is the destination as Christopher Rice’s Amazon Charts bestselling series continues.

As the test subject of an experimental drug, Charlotte Rowe was infused with extraordinary powers. As the secret weapon of a mysterious consortium, she baits evil predators and stops them in their tracks. But it takes more than fear to trigger what’s coursing through Charlotte’s blood. She needs to be terrorized. Serial killer Cyrus Mattingly is up to the task.

Cyrus is a long-haul truck driver, and his cargo bay is a gallery of horrors on wheels. To stop his bloodshed, Charlotte will become his next victim, reining in her powers so she can face each of his evils in turn.

As much as they know about Cyrus - his method of selecting victims, his prolonged rituals - there is something they don’t. What happens on the dark and lonely highways is only the journey. It’s the destination that’s truly depraved. Before she can unleash vengeance on a scale this killer has never seen, Charlotte and her team will have to go the distance into hell.

4 stars

Interesting premise. A woman who is part of some secret organization that tracks and takes out serial killers, but with a twist. They've developed an experimental drug that gives her super strength, super human powers. She lures evil men to take her as a victim, but she actually plays the victim, torture and all, until she becomes afraid enough to trigger the drug. And like any drug, the more you take it, the more your body becomes tolerant or resistant to it.

I felt like this book had an interesting perspective, and I liked that it was a female empowered story. It was definitely dark and a different spin on crime fiction.

The audiobook narration added to the sort of dark and creepy, almost clinical and emotionless perspective. Well done.

pretty good book

this book was pretty good but it just seems like it was missing something to make it great. It's something I just can't put my finger on but overall I would say it was very entertaining the lady reading it did a good job to me though it would have been better delivered by a two person team a male to do the male voices and a female for the girl.

i hope this series continues

this was one of the best series I have read in a long time. love the narrator as well.
i pray it's not over. it seemed to be left open at the end with another super natural girl.

A plea to Christopher Rice...

Let my comments double as a review and a plea to the author to please continue this series. I am not ready for it to be over. I have enjoyed each book more and more, and I know they'll be on my 'multiple listens' list. Great writing! I love that Mr. Rice has entwined action, romance, a psychological thriller, science (although slightly supernatural), and struggles with ethics into one storyline. Bravo!

interesting

this was an interesting read and a good story line, worth the time I spent.

Narrator

I am a huge Anne/Christopher Rice fan!!
However, had I not been so anxious for the 3rd installment of Burning Girl, I wouldn’t have completed the book. The narrator’s voice and attempt at different pitches for other character voices was grating and irritating. Really so glad the book ended not sure how much longer I could have stood it.. sorry

Loved it

Christopher has done it again. This book was so well written more that once I got so sucked in, I forgot what was going on around me. This series is a true thriller.

Great storyline

Great storyline. Hoping for a 4th. Narration is off-putting. Narration has the characters angry and filled with vengeance. Might be better to read than to use Audible.

Fantastic series… couldn’t put down!

Wow! This series of books just keeps getting better and better! Please let there be more adventures for Charlie and the rest of the gang! I so look forward to learning more about Cole, Dylan, and Bailey!

Great no fantastic book!

I really loved this book! I love Charlie and Luke’s development. It was great to read all of the characters coming together and working as a team.
