About this listen

Lisa Quinn has a boyfriend: Sean Knight.

She is just 16 years old, and he is her first. He's handsome, and, with his charm, he wins over her usually overprotective parents.

Yet there is a dark side to Sean.

When Lisa's parents go away on vacation, Sean's dark side emerges, and he viciously attacks her over a two-day period, sending pictures of his work to someone he calls Jay.

Lisa's life is turned upside down, and her allies are few and far between. Luckily, she has a close friend to confide in.

When her parents return from vacation, Lisa seems like a different person.

They say revenge is a dish best served cold.

How well do we really know the people in our lives? Do we truly know which way their moral compass spins?

Monsters come in all shapes, sizes, and guises. Is there such a thing as a hero? In this novel, as in life, even the good guys have deeper shades of grey.

Great story, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the narration.

The narrator was good except when he was talking as one of the teenagers. Otherwise, I enjoyed it.

a little too dark

the scenes were a little too graphic and detailed; the dark scenes dragged on too long. A little after 1/2 way through the book it became too predictable.

what a crazy ride

just finished it and I just don't know where to start. I got to admit that I didn't know what I was getting myself into, i didn't read the hypnosis, (my fault for sure )trigger warnings for sure for s.a, extremely violence,brutal. there was a part I had to stop and I started crying because the details of this history are so vivid, it felt like I was in it. as a survivor of s.a it did brought alot of feelings back. It gets pretty gruesome very fast and it just gets crazier and crazier. make sure you are in a good head space for this one, it touches a very strong subject matter, I almost stopped, not because it wasnt good but because it was so descriptive and real ,but I'm glad I didn't because the ending brought me closure, i felt for Lisa and I was rooting for her justice (and In a way mine that i never got). I really liked the ending.

I had to fast forward

I wish I would have read the reviews. It’s gross, and I wonder if the author really thinks teenage girls act like that…

i think about this book all the time

I previously read this book,but I prefer audiobooks so I knew I had to listen to it! Everyone should know this is a DARK and GRAPHIC book. It does have a HEA. My only criticism is the voices were interesting lol the overall narratation was amazing but Shawn sounded feminine and Lisa and Janet were almost the same high pitch and hard to tell apart. I love this anyways and this will be a reread book.

Wow

I have seen this book mentioned alot but went into it blindly.
I loved it.
was not what I was expecting at all. Trigger warning there is SA. so if that's something that's hard for people to listen to then it might not be the book for you.

Holy moly..

I went into this blind! I knew people had raved about the book, and also knew of the triggers.

This book made my stomach turn, but probably because I have a daughter of my own. I can’t imagine the things mentioned in this book happening to anyone. It’s sick. Violent at times. I really felt for the main girl, Lisa. I loved/hated Sean. It’s very easy to feel certain ways towards the characters. I found myself supporting a certain character by the end, practically cheering on. It’s hard to grasp the actions in this book actually take place. There was a twist that I personally didn’t see coming that made my jaw drop and had me cussing at a person in the book for their role. The only thing that really bothered me was the repeated use of a word during the attack/assault. But I realize why it was done that way.

All in all, very good book! Definitely one I recommend if you don’t have SA triggers.

Wow!

What a ride. There was suspense, gore and one heck of a storyline. The characters were well thought out and the plot kept me intrigued.
