The beginning of this audio will give you the chills over
how easy it is for one woman to disappear without a trace, it is just way too
easy when evil come to call it will leave you spellbound. This is a story about
hope, needs, wants, love, the unknown, sorrow, pain and death when one man
wants answers to questions he needs to survive and overcome issues he has. It
is a chilling, thrilling, heart stopping read that will hold you spellbound on
the edge leaving you with your heart in your throat wanting to pull these poor women
out of the pages giving them back the life they once had. Will one pregnant woman
be enough or will he need more, what does he need them for and what about their
unborn babies. Come take the journey like no other get inside a man’s head that
demands answers at any cost along with the people at the Holt
Foundation as they struggle to keep it open after the founder died. These
people give their heart and soul to victims they do not know in hopes of
finding them and bring them home alive.
With this audio you have to narrators that
are very talented with wonderful character voices that gives true emotions. You
can hear the pain, sorrow, fear and the unknown. They each more or less take a chapter,
their voices go well together blending into a delightful narration that pulls
you in and holds you spellbound. With double narrators in most audios there are
issues here you will not find any. There are no background noises, no volume
changes as they go from one narrator to the other, there is no place where the
volume is higher or lower than the ones before. It really sounds like they were
in the same room side beside throughout the audio. What they deliver are
delightful character voices that fit the characters with true emotions from a
chuckle, laugh or tears. You have no trouble knowing who is talking or what
they are feeling. Both male and female voices are great women with power to
women who are uncertain along with strong males that are alpha to the more
dearing softer males. Emotions are played against each other giving you a
highly entertaining listen. I had no trouble picturing the scenes as they
unfolded. Some of these pictures will stay in my mind for a long time to come.
Their performance is outstanding and it was a pleasure being able to listen to
them work together bring a very exciting thrilling audio. I can’t wait to
listen to more of their work.
The author spins a tale that makes you
turn the pages and keep you spellbound. Between the plot and the narration I
could not put this audio down. From what I have read the author brings back
past characters from her first book weaving into this story so it blends well. It
makes you want to pick up the first book to find out what Marissa and her
daughter has already lived through. This is a standalone you do not need to
read the first one but it would be nice to know what these two went through.
You never feel lost you always know what is happening and have a good knowledge
of their past. There was nothing that I didn’t like about this story it has it
all a little romance, danger, thrills, chills, excitement, overcoming your past,
living for your future, and deaths so very sad so real that your heart almost
stops. It is a story inside a story, true it is based on the foundation and the
missing women but is also based on one ex cop him dealing with losing his wife
and walking away from the police force overcoming the man he turned into be and
turning a page to become a better man. You get to see his fight for survival starting
over finding out what he lost might not be as much as he is about to lose. A
women and her daughter that has been to hell and back fighting just to put one
foot in front of the other as they find some common ground they both can live with.
Marissa daughter who is still deal with the past that will haunt her to her
dying day (if you have read the first book you will know what I am talking
about). Then you get to know the women who come up missing what they are
feeling, their needs and wants. They deserve so much more but get so little
from those around them. You get to know
the abductor and the women who help him. What all she has had to deal with and
why she does what she has done. I doubt you can read/listen to this and not be
touched deeply. It is truly a wonderful, thrilling, chilling read you won’t be
able to put down. I loved this so much I have picked it as one of my favorite
read for 2018. This author just blow me way.
