This is short but carries a big punch the author fills a lot
in few words never leaving anything out. You know just what is happening as she
and the narrator pulls you in taking you away giving you a really enjoyable
read. Masie’s family is very well to do even if her father might not have made
all his money the illegal way. The book starts out with her being away in
school being called home because of her mother’s illness. There is a little
mystery around the mother, we never see her and you are left wondering just
what happen to her. Marsie’s father is a very tough man and not always kind he
is a user. Her brother I just haven’t made my mind up fully about him. What I
do know is Masie is playing with fire and a dangerous game between her father
and the man she lusts after. She has just about set the trap for herself
putting her in a cage of her own making leaving her to wonder just what kind of
mess she has gotten herself into.
Ms. Kelly as always does a great job I do believe this might
be her best work. She gives you a smooth clean and clear audio that pulls you
in painting a picture you have no trouble picturing the danger as it unfolds. I
really enjoyed her character voices, you have no trouble knowing who is talking
and what they are feeling. The confusing and excitement along with the anger
comes through very clear. Her tones are even, there was no background noise or
any places where the volume changed it one steady listen. Her male voices are
just as good as her female ones. She really has come a long way from the first
audio I have listened to of hers. I had no trouble picturing and feeling Masie
anger, hurt, sorrow and excitement at finally getting her father’s attention.
It really was a great listen with powerful emotions.
I liked a few of the characters and a few not so much. It
was very easy to get the feel of Masie since the book is mostly about her. I could
really feel her pain over her mother and really felt sorry for her. I
understood that she just wanted to make her father proud and wanted his love. Her
old love is a mix of let’s do it to let’s stop her father wouldn’t be too happy
and he does want to keep his job. This story reminds me a lot of a mob but I do
not get the feeling it is as of yet. I thought it has a good plot with a good
writing style. This is a cliffhanger which I do not care for, I think it could
have all been put in one book. The story held my attention and at times very
exciting, there is passion and a few little hot scenes. I did enjoy it enough to want to read the next
in the series. It is very short but I think worth the listen. I know when the book
ended I just put my head in my hands and as OH Masie what have you done….
