About this listen

Love hurts. FBI agent Kelly Feinman knows this is true. While she is recovering from an attack by a serial killer called the "Acid Man," her husband leaves her. Physically and emotionally scarred by the murderer, Kelly feels she will never be the same. She is cut off not only from her husband and child, but also from her fellow FBI agents, who see her as a rogue for going after the Acid Man alone.

Love is hell. Matt Connor knows this is true. His love for his girlfriend, Amy, is so intense that he feels he is in heaven when he is with her. When Amy leaves him for another man, Matt is shattered. In agony, he plans a diabolical scheme that first calls for him to disappear from the face of the earth. His revenge will make Amy wish she had never been born.

Love can heal. Matt's act of vengeance puts him in charge of Amy's infant son. He discovers a soothing warmth in Jimmy's eyes that makes him wonder if Amy's betrayal truly merited wrecking the child's life. Yet Matt's heart cannot be made whole until he has won Amy back.

Kelly cannot be made whole until she understands the depth of evil that lurks behind the Acid Man. Ironically, to rid herself and the world of her nemesis, she must seek out Matt Connor, a wanted man she has been ordered to bring to justice.

In Falling, Christopher Pike explores the depth and breadth of human emotion through two brilliantly etched characters: Kelly Feinman, who pays a terrible price to understand the nature of true evil, and Matt Connor, a classic antihero who captures the listener's sympathy. The listener is drawn deeply into the hearts and minds of these two people, who almost against our will force us to face our deepest fears. It is that power that makes Falling impossible to forget.

Critic reviews

" Falling is full of challenging characters for the narrator....William Dufris handles these opportunities well. Fast-paced conversations requiring quick vocal switches are no problem for him; neither are tense scenes in which he picks up the tempo." ( AudioFile)

Didn’t really dig the narrator

Story was fabulous, but I wasn’t keen on the author. As with most men, his attempt at female voices was annoying as heck. In fact, I would go so far as to say this narration reduced the pleasure I took in this book semi-significantly. No offense! It’s super annoying when men read women in these silly, breathy voices. Kelly is a total bada** and the best, but they way he reads her part almost makes you wanna dislike her. If you voice-over for books, please stop doing that!

good book, so so audio book

story is great. the voice actor is awful at portraying women so it's a bit distracting. otherwise, happy with the purchase and experience.

so many plot twist

I really loved this book, grew attached to the characters, sad that it ended, hoping Pike will write more adult horror/thrillers.

Cringingly good!!

Cringingly good. I love Christopher Pike. I have not read him in over a decade and Falling did not disappoint. The narrator had a non annoying voice.

The villains perspective

I really enjoyed this book. I yelled as some of the characters did things that were crazy, but that’s what villains and bad guys do. I like that it’s written from the perspective of the villains or antihero not the typical people who do everything right or by the books.

Childhood favorite author revisited

I would lead Christopher Pike vampire books when I was younger and I decided to see what books he had written since. I just picked any book and i’m glad I did, I just love this book and it always kept my interest. The person reading the story did a fantastic job with portraying the characters with his voice. I’m going to go find another one of his books now.

I LOVED IT!

One of the Best Thrillers ever! I thought that Christopher Pike did a fantastic job of telling the story with these two characters. Great Complex rich characters with a brillant plotline. Despite the story and the end result, I really loved this book
