What would you do if you found out your child is a psychopath?

One night when Jennifer Hanson returns home, she catches her 12-year-old son, Shane, stabbing their cat to death. Thankfully, he doesn't see her. Having long known Shane has a brain with psychopathic tendencies, her worst fears may be confirmed. Ever since he accidentally shot his father to death at age six, she has done everything she can to ensure Shane doesn't become a full-blown psychopath. He has behaved normally up until now. Have her efforts been in vain?

She can tell he's changing, becoming increasingly dangerous, but she can't stomach putting him in a psych ward. But then she finds pictures of a dead girl in his phone, a girl everyone thought had died accidentally....

Note: Born Evil is a stand-alone psychological thriller with no sex and little violence.

This was the hardest narrator I have the unpleasant experience listening to. I felt like I was listening to a robot. I enjoyed the story and truly felt like I was listening to nails on a chalkboard.
So disappointed in that the story was interesting.

The story is wonderful the narrator is a robot

A good read with an unexpected ending. Some Narration by the son seemed a little off . Enjoyed this Audible.

Makes you want a Sequel.

A psychopath and if it one’s son what would one do. To kill a father when sleeping, was surprised more wasn’t done then. A book of a mother that some may like of her fears. Different and the narration brought out the emotions of her. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

A Mother’s Fear

Seems like it could be an excellent book. Could not get past the horrible narration- too fast, too monotone.

Terrible narration

This story is hard to review without spoiling the end, so I'll just say this: by the time I got a little bit leary about Jennifer Hanson's attitude, there was a change of narrator and a lot of things become more clear... or so I thought :P

I was trapped in the story from the beginning, although the last third was a bit weaker. I liked the narration by Theresa Wolcott; the one by Carl Bradley not so much, and that might be part of why I felt that way.

All in all, this is a very entertaining story with a couple of twists that made for a surprising ending. And left me wanting to check other books by this author :)

Interesting story

Loved it!

The narrators are horrible. I thought the female voice was bad until it got to the male voice.

The story starts off okay albeit tragic then he goes downhill.

The ending sickened me. Don’t waste your time on this one. I wish I hadn’t.

Too Gruesome For Me
