The Facility

By: Brandon Ford

Narrated by: Carly Kincaid

A picture-perfect life is shattered when Holly Vogel discovers her husband has crossed an unthinkable line - with their five-year-old daughter. She immediately takes the child and flees, closing all communication with a man, now seen only as a monster.

Reeling, Holly wrestles with innumerable possibilities. She can’t bear the thought of putting her only child through a lengthy trial. And though he’s committed an unforgivable sin, she can’t escape the love she feels for the man once seen as her one and only.

Scouring the internet for answers, she happens upon a website claiming to be the answer to all her prayers. A website created specifically for women in the same or similar situations. A website known only as "The Facility".

The facility

I am not sure whether I like this book or not.The main character makes the worst decision in the world when she doesn't take her sexually abused child to the police.It gets worse from there.Add mediocre narration by Carly Kincaid and it isn't a surprise some don't finish reading it. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.'

Be careful what you ask for!

After a horrific act, Rhys Vogel tells his wife Holly he will do anything to make things right. Rather than put their daughter Jenna through all that goes with a trial, and to insure it never happens again, Holly makes a very special, very secret arrangement with The Facility. Brandon Ford takes listeners on a journey shrouded in mystery and secrecy in this edge of your seat thriller. The plot is revealed in the smooth, clear, easy to understand manner that I have come to expect, and grown to absolutely love from a Brandon Ford story. No confusion, no unanswered questions, just complete immersion and utter enthrallment! Brandon, you had me from go! I loved it!

Unique listen, narration fell a little short

The Facility by Brandon Ford was interesting. While I can't say that I agree with Holly's decision on how she still wants to be with her husband after what he did to their daughter, the story surrounding the Facility was unique and quite harrowing. This was a quick, entertaining enough listen. Not entertaining enough to search for more books by the author to listen to though.

Carly Kincaid's narration felt flat. Her voice didn't fluctuate much between the characters or the fluctuating emotions that were going on throughout the novel. I think had she read with more emotion and perhaps used different voices for the various characters, it would have helped the listen some. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher for an honest review.

Unique and creative

"The Facility" (2016, 2020) by Brandon Ford is a unique novel featuring Holly, a middle-class mother of a five-year-old girl, who leaves her husband when she discovers he has molested their daughter. Holly decides to take drastic action that results in major unintended and unimaginable consequences. Narrator Carly Kincaid’s voice is relatively the same regardless of the character speaking, which lessened my interest. Mildly recommended. At my request, I was given this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and have voluntarily left this review.

second chances

Some second chances aren't worth it. How could Holly show such poor judgment and think a second chance was appropriate???? What a twisted ending!!!! I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.
