Dark Thriller
An exhilarating thriller that switched from the perspective of News Correspondent Anna and her ex a DCI. They are both covering / investigating a death that strikes a little too close to their past.
The other voice of the murder is pretty disturbingly portrayed in the audiobook but once you get used to it its an exciting and twisty tale with a lot of disturbing moments. I lost my download of the audiobook somehow halfway through but luckily had an ebook copy I jumped straight int to finish and the memory of the creepy voice followed me.....
I kept thinking I knew what was going on but the strong and twisty writing of Alice Feeney kept me on my toes and left me satisfied all the way. This has everything I want from a dark thriller, disturbing but gripping.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my copy.

Set in Oregon, but way cooler to visit than Portland
Full story that ends nicely, with a nerd champion who's behavior and perspectives are realistic and attainable. Makes you question modern games in ways Enders Game or similar stories have not. Also, if you do the audiobook, Wil Wheaton narrates, and he's a wonderful narrator.

So, I finally can say that I finished the series. I have to say, I was unimpressed with the last two in the Divergent series so I didn't have high hopes for this one.
I surprisingly liked this book. I forgot how much I liked Four & it was interesting to learn more about him as a character. The writing was good and I enjoyed listening to this as an audiobook.

(upped my rating to five stars because in hindsight it probably was a five-star read)
loved loved LOVED this! I loved the story, It was LOOOOOONG but I loved the characters (the side characters more than I loved Evie though but hey) and I will most definitely be continuing with this series! The audiobook is delightful and January LaVoy does such an incredible job with the narration!

The review ... oh the review. I was going to rate this book 3 stars, but it gets a bump due to the hilarity of it. When your husband, who you forced to listen to the audiobook during car excursions, laughs hysterically at a book .. I mean, that gets points.
The start of this book felt very, very young adult, very funny, super funny and entertaining and the audiobook version of this I think made it so fun to read. I think maybe my favourite character was ms vamp - I love it when secondary characters just jump out of a page and just catch your interest like that.
Overall the story was cute and entertaining, the end of the book took on a more serious, but yet still funny note (how is that even possible!) but that is so good, I'm interested to see where the story ends up and will definitely pick up book 2 in the series.

Under the advisement of a counselor, a 15-year-old boy with Asperger's Syndrome writes a novel about his experiences, thoughts, and feelings. He novel shows how his mind works and how he deals with everyday situations. It also shows how his family struggles and adapts to his certain habits, dislikes, and passions.
I listened to the audiobook version, which has been highly recommended, and it didn't disappoint. The narrator was phenomenal!

I devoured this book!
I found the idea of "mermaids" a bit hokey, but decided to give this a try. I'm so glad I did! It's so refreshingly well written and I was hooked after the first page. I love horror stories and have always been fascinated by the Mariana Trench and the Challenger Deep. I can't wait to read more by this author! Oh, and the audiobook is superb. I absolutely loved the narration.

I grabbed this one from my local library as an audiobook on CD not realizing it was #9 in the series. I can honestly say it was still an amazing listen and I would love to listen to the 8 previous. The entire time I was reading this one I was thinking there have to be more stories about this detective. Now I'm hoping I can find the others on CD as well!
