This is probably the best book you will ever download without charge. I can't wait to read Book 2, even if I DO have to pay for it.

The story was really quite good. But the narration was the worst I've ever heard in an Audible Book, It was like a woman with a strong English accent was just reading out loud. Every character, situation and commentary sounded the same.

On the whole, I must admit I never felt the characters were in any way realistically depicted. Everyone behaved foolishly at all times. No way I felt any compassion or connection for any of them.

Most every male character in this book is represented as constantly making sexist remarks and offensive sexual overtones to the main character. She is really portrayed as a tool, IMO.

I ended up enjoying this much more than I thought I would, Colleen Shogan seems to really know her way around the capital in addition to how devious the House and Senate actually work.

As a native San Franciscan, I critique any publication taking place in my hometown more harshly than it often warrants.
That being said, The Voice Inside, serves as an esoteric guidebook to the unique essence of our neighborhoods. In addition, the story is superb. White knuckles, unexpected twists and turns, made this a 10 hour ride I couldn't stop listening to. Definitely recommend!

Compelling and spell binding do not begin to describe this title. One can mentally experience the scenes just listening to the audible series of events. I stayed up an entire night to find out how the episode resoled itself. Superb on every level.

Definitely for a young audience. Far too long. A litany of redundant teenage issues surrounding demons, witches and warlocks on the Sunset Strip.. Too much focus on everyone being gorgeous with super hair. Fair enough, It's LA.

La Plante's writing and research is always excellent, but I lost interest in following all the assorted plots and profiles. Perhaps British penitentiary protocol is not a compelling topic for me....

Just when you think you've solved this caper (which happens about 20 times), everything gets turned upside down and inside out..
Terrific!
