Critic reviews

“The impressive debut of this new writing partnership has just the right balance of interesting characters, action, mystery, and—of course—love.” ( Booklist)

New author for me

This is the first book from Gist & Bertrand that I’ve listened to. But it won’t be my last! This book had heart pounding suspense and several twists and turns! Kept me guessing until just before the end!

odd

Any additional comments?

this was an odd book. I didn't mind the story, it wasn't exactly edge of your seat thriller or anything. The romance was kind of thrown into the mix but not developed to the extent that you would really think they were madly in love. It was read okay and written fine enough to be a light entertaining, unbelievable type tale. Wouldn't necessarily recommend it but also wouldn't say not to listen.

Action packed with romance included

This was a cute story. All the characters were pretty good. It kept you guessing until the very end. the end was shocking and exciting.

its okay

narrator doesn't delineate between voices too well.
it is easy to tell which author contributed which parts
I didnt have trouble finishing it

Slow in the Beginning, Rushed at the End

This is a pretty good book, the reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the story is kinda of slow at the beginning, but not too slow as to make me want to stop listening but slow enough that if a missed a few seconds or minutes of the story I didn't worry about about rewinding it to see of I missed anything. To me the ending was very rushed. It seemed like only the last two chapters addressed rapping the story up. All in all it is worth a credit and it is an enjoyable story.
