About this listen

In this gripping thriller from New York Times bestselling author Mike Omer, a woman who fled home with a dark secret must now flee the strangers who seem to know it—and the stalker behind it all.

Seventeen-year-old Theodora Briggs left home in the dead of night, after a brutal crime shattered her life. Thirteen years later, she’s made a name for herself as Gemma: beautician, wife, and mother. But the trauma still lingers…

And then one day, it’s more than just a phantom pain.

Gemma is suddenly accosted by stranger after stranger, all of whom seem to know the truth about her. They confront her with her real name and ominous allusions to the tragedy that drove her out of town. When her family begins to have their own strange episodes, Gemma is rattled. There’s no one left to trust but herself—except Gemma can’t even remember what happened that night.

Accusations and danger lurk around every corner, and Gemma’s not sure where to turn. But if she can’t put together the pieces of her past, the new life she’s built might disappear just as quickly—and violently—as her old one.

Like a Lifetime movie

I pre-ordered this because I've really loved Omer's books (except Please Tell Me). This initially felt like listening to a Lifetime movie. I wasn't a fan of the characters and while it picked up at the ending and was wrapped up neatly, I wasn't satisfied, I think I expected something much different.
The narrator was decent but it felt a bit stale.

Fantastic, gripping, unputdownable!!!

This author never disappoints! 17yo Theodora runs away from home after being accused of murdering her former friend turned bully. The thing is, she could not clearly remember the events of that Halloween night. Now 30yo Gemma…name changed and with her own family…is living a good life across the country when ppl start gaslighting her…as Theodora. When things take a sinister turn, Gemma decides that she needs to take back her life and stop a stalker. In the process, she just may solve that 13yo crime.
Fantastic story, well written, with lots of drama. Totally recommend!!

Annoying voice

I hate to start this review so negative because the story was actually okay…..but the voice of the child in this story was SO annoying! This voice grated on my nerves and almost made me stop listening to the story

Switching to reading

I like the story enough so far, but I'm on chapter 23 and there are still 7 hours left -- I can't listen to this narrator for 7 more hours. I can't explain it, but the delivery is too practiced and unnatural. She sounds like a 1950s sitcom mom or something with the tone she uses. Just not for me.

Nice story

I enjoyed the story, however I experienced multiple times that the dialog would randomly pause in the middle of a sentence and then restart after a moment and this happened randomly throughout the whole book.
I felt the ending where she was realizing who the person is, happened very fast and I think a little more depth into how she realized this could have been added.
Overall very enjoyable I love the Mike Omer books
