Loved it

You know when you’re reading a book and you’re physically sad when it ends? That was me after this! It’s been a while since I couldn’t stop listening to an audiobook but this one kept me up thinking at night😂 highly recommend

Beach read

I loved all the characters. I love how it unfolded a little unexpected a Paige Turner. I couldn’t wait to get back to it and was sad when it was finished it would be great to have a follow up book.

Unique and compelling story

This is my first book by Michele Campbell and it will not be my last! Loved the writing and storytelling style. Everything flowed wonderfully, even with time jumps and 2 different story perspectives.

The first part of the book, I was a bit annoyed with Madison - who while only trying to help her brother, I just wanted to shake her. However her dedication to family as well as her idolization of Judge Kathryn Conroy make this a believable tale.

I loved how the author integrated the time jumps, after starting the story - allowing the reader to first be drawn into the story before giving too much information, was wonderful. While I believe most of the book, particularly in the first part, was told my Madison, we got Judge Kathryn's perspectives and history just at the right time to make the story complete.

The narration for the audiobook was spot on. Sarah Mollo-Christensen did a phenomenal job pulling the reader into the story. I could hear the worry and fear of our MFC when talking about her brothers situation and uncertainty of the path she should take.

Good thriller/suspense book

I enjoyed the book so much but the audio book helped bring it back to life.

Best suspensful novel I’ve listened to in a long time. Loved it.

Only small annoyance was the reader would use too much of her whisper voice as if the character was hiding in a closet.

!!!Spoiler Alert!!! I love Michele Campbell no matter what

But did anyone hope that the ending would be different like maybe the mafia would be after the intern to groom her into the next judge??

Best thing I’ve read lately

The speed and twists and turns kept it captivating! Great book for anyone who loves fast paced, complicated plots.

Amazing!!!!

I really enjoyed this audio presentation. A great listen on the way to work. The narrator was absolutely amazing and I loved how she was able to make me feel as though I was witnessing the action in person!!!!

Starts Slow .... But woth the credit or purchase

If you're a Michele Campbell fan, this should not disappoint. Started out a bit slow and gloomy - almost put it back, but then it grabbed you and I could not stop listening in my spare time.
Great Listen, whether you are at work or commuting - Just when you think you don't like a character - babammmmm plot twist.

Long but good

I enjoyed this book. The twist and turns; the way you want to dislike the villain, but like the villain, at the same time, made it very intriguing.
