Publisher's summary

There's something strange about David, something that goes beyond the way he makes Ellie feel. He's wealthy, poised, and a complete enigma. With nothing to lose but her heart, Ellie goes in search of the truth - a search that leads her down an eye-opening path that reveals secrets about the world she thought she knew.

The world's order is held in careful balance, the essence of good and evil tilting the scale. When the fabric of reality is stripped away, Ellie is forced to make a decision to follow the path David's constructed before her or simply walk away. The Core is missing and someone must step up and stand between the light and darkness, holding each back and maintaining equilibrium.

Enjoyed this book very much

What made the experience of listening to The Core the most enjoyable?

Loved the general story and the fact that I liked the main characters (call me simple but it does make it easier to enjoy the book when you enjoy the characters). The narrator did a very good job. She was easy to listen to and nicely and subtly differentiated characters.

Which character – as performed by Elizabeth Phillips – was your favorite?

Ellie - main character - was great.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

It's just the beginning.

Any additional comments?

Book was a little slow to get to the paranormal bit but worth it. At about the 1/2 way point your learn how there are 5 parts to this and it becomes pretty obvious how the next 4 books will be structured. Checked the titles of the series and sure enough that's it. I'll be getting the next one because it is that good.

I do have a criticism about the narration - I liked the narrator a lot but there are at least 3 instances of repeated phrases. This is very distracting as a listener. Better proofing by the narrator and author was needed.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
