Storyline was just alright

I only finished it because it was an audio book. The female narrator was super annoying. She was trying to get into character but some of her voices were ridiculous.

Great listen.

Good ... Hubert's reader threw me off a bit but overall good story. Seems like he didn't understand southern slang.

Very good

Funny, great story line can’t wait to read part 3! It is awesome to listen to this !

Hope

I hope it will be more I didn’t like the way it ended needing answers

Interesting

I don't know what everyone else is talking about, this is a good read!!! It kept me going with Audible along with me working 3rd shift I listened to the whole book in 2days... I don't see how one woman can be so Naive!!! Jesse can't be that slow??? This is a prime example of when we see something and pretend we don't see it, all to our very own demise!!!
