The Perfect Girl kept me engaged from beginning to end. Good character development, which makes you care about them and makes you even more invested in the story.
Speaking of which, well written story, and I’m looking for other books by this author as soon as I submit this review.

Excellent character development, which made me care about what happened to them. And, a lot does happen. There’s a lot of gore, but not too much in my opinion. The story, weaving and good narration for outweighs any gore that might turn away those some that are squeamish. Highly recommend.
PS. Just brought another title by this author pretty much immediately after finishing this book.

Not enough background on what happened to set the current events in motion until the very abrupt end. Even though it was free, I’m really annoyed that I spent the time listening to it when I had other books waiting that I’m sure will be much better. Overall, the dramatic voice reading was the best part about it. Too bad the story couldn’t keep up with the excellent voice acting.

The story was hard to follow. I found I cared little for the characters. The most developed and described character seemed to be the unrepentant bad guy.
Also, I’m no prude, but the love scenes read more like 50 Shades of Gray without moving the plot along or making said relationship more interesting. I’m glad I got this on sale or I’d be even more disappointed than I already am. Do not
recommend.

I can’t believe I didn’t see some of the twists coming. They were so surprising, and the way the story unspooled kept me listening almost nonstop!
The author makes you care what happens to the characters, no matter if they are “good”’or “bad” people.
Looking forward to reading more from this author.
Also, kudos to the narrator for the superbly voiced characters. Just the right amount of tension in the voice acting and the writing itself.

The characters were brought to life though both the author’s descriptive words and on point narration. The combination creates characters you love and those you love to hate. I listened to this as much as possible, finishing it within 24 hrs. I can’t believe it was in the audible “free” catalogue. Definitely worth a credit if you like a twisty, dramatic, catty, loving, engaging book.

The Sleeper was misnamed as it kept me up wondering what would happen next. I cared about the characters and how the different lives intertwined for both good and bad. And of course, there is the always wonderful narration of Imogen Church. Recommend. 4.5 stars overall.

The story was developed well, without any slow parts that made me want to pause and go do something else.I finished the book within 24 hrs. In addition to the story, being engaging, the author made sure we cared about the characters enough to keep listening, by fleshing out their histories out and back stories. The narrator was also excellent. My only gripe was with the voice they used when being a four year-old child, who was in a whiny state at that point. . However, that might’ve been the whiney kid thing and not a narrator thing.
In any case, that was a small and only annoyance, and overall not worth passing up this big, exciting and satisfying story. Highly recommend. 5+ ⭐️!

While I enjoyed the book overall, plot (with aforementioned twists and such), character development and an exceptional surprise, the pace needed picking up in the middle.

There was a bit too much lingering on first world, “one percenter” problems that boiled down to the character’s plain, old boredom.

And I’m sure you can understand how boring it can be to listen at length to how bored a person of means is.

All of that being said, it was a good listen, a great sale deal and the narration was excellent.
