Heavy story, so sad that this kind of thing really goes on. At times it was hard to listen to, but a very well written story. Good narration

Loved this book. Had me interested and surprised. Dark, deep, and scary but also very well written. Will be thinking about this book for a while.

Hooked me in from the beginning. Author paints a very good picture of what is happening. At times the book had me feeling what the characters were feeling.

This is dark. And not in a sexy way. Dark in the way that makes you question things, distrust everyone, and fear what we don’t know - what little we see. Shay is everyone who has been broken by people who pry our most secret thoughts out of us to mold us into what they want without regard for the harm they cause. Every woman in this story is a victim (I’m giving HER a lot of grace cause chance are there is trauma involved for her too, even know she’s awful).

Heavy story, you will go through all the emotions listening to this book. I was hooked right from the started. Although this is fiction, this story sadly is not, I listen to a lot of true crime podcast and these types of stories are far too common.

Addictive story. Couldn’t stop listening to it. Great narrator.

I had a hard time listening to this book, but listened anyway as to not waste a credit. Narration was good, but the story was not for me.

I liked it

Great book. If you like cult vibes or handmaid tale this one is for you! Intriguing and scary realistic in today’s world.

I really enjoyed this book. I don't see why so many called this dark. Perhaps my acceptance of plausibility of the human male doesn't put something like this happening now in upscale neighborhoods out of reach. The story/theory of women and men retaking their roles always seems to leave out the women who have aged but not the men. The H.M.Tale taught us that years ago as well. The narration was very good. Would have loved a male character with a strong deep voice to read along with her. A first from me from this author. I think I may seek out the one that put her on the map.

This was a good read… definitely a good book to listen to while cleaning.

could not put down!

Not for me

It was ok… but it’s not in my top ten faves at all. It just kind of drug on.

Good

Well done!

I have mixed feelings - it was hard to like or care about the characters (I can‘t quite believe such smart and talented women would be overpowered the way they were - ick), some of the story elements were eye-rollingly trite, it was spicier than it needed to be, BUT the plot twists and turns made up for it.

Not my cup of tea, but the narrator does her best with the material

Wow! That was a lot. Sometimes I wanted to shut it off and never turn it back on. It was scary and very disturbing. I know this sort of thing happens out there.

so many twists and turns

Warning: at around an hour there is a college r*pe that turns into a highly triggering scene of going to the police. Stopped listening around an hour-fifteen [potential spoiler removed] Spare yourself the waste of time. Unoriginal “true crime” plot twisting in podcasts. The woman narrarators voice also just doesn’t go with the story. Overall a no.

Amazing book, loved it. Kept me interested the whole way through. Narrator was perfect for the story.

I learned much of different outlooks of life. Very enjoyable, scarry subject

Utterly abysmal. The high drama hyperbole, rather than offering pleasing high points, was so ever present that it became a repetitive, meaningless diatribe that eroded any impact it might have had. Couldn’t bear the narrator.

Disturbing.

Kind of drug on

Gave up! Lots of waffle. Trying to hard to be psychological thriller but just not clever enough. The narrator was good.

I really loved the book. A little to graphic for me. Truth be told these kind of things happen in real life. I was happy the way it ended.

This was a fantastic book!!!
