Publisher's summary

Of course, the dress was white. This is what I'm supposed to die in, I thought. Not many people knew what their last outfit would be. I pulled it over my head. It fit me perfectly. It had long, loose fitting sleeves, a modest neckline, and waves of material on the skirt. I hated it.

There were no shoes, and I was afraid I'd have to run through the forest barefoot but there weren't a lot of options. Besides, I'd run barefoot over a bed of nails to get away.

"Scarlett, are you ready?" he called.

I looked in the mirror and took a deep breath. Time to fight for my life.

Scarlett Garner doesn't remember anything before the age of four - until a car accident changes everything. She starts to remember pieces of a past that frighten her. A past her parents hid from her... and a secret that could get her killed.

Sad that it wasn't better

Unfortunately, I was left pretty disappointed. Almost the whole story was spoiled in the summary! I was constantly expecting some kind of plot twist, but it never came. Aside from the spoilers, the ending itself was quite predictable. The narrators were decent, though the male narrator could work on controlling his breathing better, as his gasps were sometimes a bit distracting.

Slow to start

I absolutely loved this book, Natasha Preston is my favorite author, but she takes awhile to lay to ground work in this book. Its a great story, it takes awhile to get intense.

This felt like a regret for lost time I'll never get back.
Not for anyone over 13 I think.

Narrative

I really did not like the sloppy recording of the narration. I could here every time the male voice stopped and took a breath or swallowed. I like the storyline but had a hard time getting past the narration.

Quite an intense stery

Everything seems fine, until the truth comes out, and things go bad.

The blind devotion of the people in the Eternal Light commune is just too crazy to believe is possible, yet that kind of faith happens every day. Even towards the end, when things are finally going to be ok, I was waiting for someone to jump out of the shadows and take it all away again. No one does, but the suspense is constant.

The narrators were well chosen for the teen voices, and did great with all the other voices as well.

Boring!

Would you try another book from Natasha Preston and/or Katy Sobey and Dan Morgan ?

I love this author but this book is VERY SLOW and doesn't get to the point. Im half way through the book and still unsure of what the book is really about. There is hardly any indication of what Noah is doing there. It doesn't hook you. I choose this book because I love the author but this book is a NO GO FOR ME! Don't waste your time unless you are very patient and looking to be put to sleep.

Not recommended

Long drawn out story that goes nowhere. Most boring book I have listened to in awhile.
