But they can't hide her forever.

As her protectors are picked off one by one, will Lizzy be able to escape from this deadly zero-sum game?

This is the first book in the Lizzie Ballard Thriller series. It is a standalone story with no cliffhanger ending but it does have a setup for the next book in the series.
Here, Patrick and Charlotte Ballard are trying to start a family but experiencing fertility issues. Upon the recommendation of a friend, they visit a fertility clinic. Soon, the Ballards have a daughter, Lizzie. However, Charlotte begins to experience headaches every time Lizzie gets angry. The headaches get more and more intense until Charlotte is diagnosed with having had several mini-strokes. They hire a housekeeper, who unbeknownst to the Ballards is being paid by the fertility clinic to watch and report on Lizzie. Charlotte figures out that Lizzie has a gift which has caused Charlotte's health problems - so the Ballards determine they must keep Lizzie and society safe by isolating her and trying to teach her how to control her powers but it's not that simple as there are those who want to use Lizzie's powers and others who want to harm her.
This is a well-written gripping thriller, which slowly unfolds and reveals Lizzie's true powers. The characters are well-developed and likeable. While Lizzie is incredibly bright, she is also very naive and innocent - which was a great dichotomy as Lizzie was trying to figure out her way in the world and who she could trust. Overall, an engaging and very entertaining story.
The narrator did a very good job - she did voices for the various characters so you could easily differentiate them during conversations. I also liked as the suspense would increase in the story, the narrator's voice would rachet up the tension and pace of her narration.

Thankfully, this story does not end in a cliffhanger, although it's obviously set up for the next book in the series. I hope to eventually have the opportunity to review that one -- the series seems that promising.
Note: I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

As for the narration, Victoria Matlock has this breathy quality to her voice that was slightly distracting. The production value was not 100%. I also don’t know if she loved the book as much as she should have, because I felt no emotion from her during the reading. However, I respected the choices she made for each voice.
Great Story Idea
