Trafficked

Any additional comments?

The things that the poor woman in this book had to go through to make sure that her daughter was safe are unreal. It is so hard to beleive that things like this happen but when you read this book you know that it is real and it makes you want to help.

W-O-W! Well worth listening to - a little gem.

What did you like best about this story?

The entire book. It made me cry, squirm, smile and even took my breath away!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I listened to the whole thing in one go - it was well written and really opened my mind up to the severity of human trafficking... It's one of those things that I was always aware of but didn't know much about so having the book written from this perspective was fascinating.

Wow! What an eye opener!

I have just finished this book and kudos to the author, Sibel Hodge for writing it. What an eye opener this book is. I have heard of sex trafficking before, but never in such detail. This book is well written and even though it is sad, I couldn't stop listening to it. I had to know if Elena got away and found Lilliana. That poor girl and all the terrible things that happened to her and all the others who get trapped just like her.

I would be like Paul and everyone else thinking women are in brothels because they chose to be. This book changed my mind on that thought! Totally mind blowing. Lesson learned here: it only takes one person to make a difference!

Well written & superb job by narrator, Ilyana Kadushin too! I love how it was written as a diary. This way made me feel like it was more real. I also want to say, I love how some of the proceeds will go to helping others! It took a brave lady to write this book! Good job indeed!

Heart wrenching and deeply moving!

It's shocking to know this is going on right beneath the noses of all of us. I don't know what to do besides donating to funds that support trafficking victims. God bless them and help the lucky few who are freed so they remain safe and free always. Read this story.

Sad story told by an absolutely amazing narrator!

What made the experience of listening to Trafficked the most enjoyable?

The narrator was phenomenal! She was even able to create an accent to make it sound like she was the woman in the story! The story is a good one as well

What was one of the most memorable moments of Trafficked?

I cannot think of one specific moment that was memorable for me.

What does Ilyana Kadushin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Kadushin was phenomenal! I felt like I was literally listening to the female MC reading her diary out loud! The narrator of this book even created an accent to match… her performance was really, really spectacular!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No

Any additional comments?

My preferred genres are dark romance and dark erotica so the majority of the books I have read over the past year have been about men and women forced into sex slavery. When I chose to read TRAFFICKED, I expected it to be similar to the books I usually read; I was wrong. TRAFFICKED is not romance or erotica, it is a sad story. Told in first person, TRAFFICKED is a fictitious diary of a woman's experience while being a sex slave. I was fortunately able to listen to this in audiobook format; the narrator was phenomenal!

Because I am accustomed to reading very disturbing, twisted, dark fiction on this topic, this story did not pull on my heartstrings like it hopefully will for other people. While reading the first 1/3rd of this book, I was extremely moved. The main character's emotions were palpable and moving. I began to feel a bit irritated about 50% into the book, realizing that I was listening to a woman complain about how horrible her life was. It was certainly a horrible life but who wants to listen to how sad someone is for hours!? I also found myself wishing that the word stop worrying about her daughter so much, instead getting busy doing more! She does have reasons for her concern but I saw options for her that you're not explored in the book.

I think this book could be improved by adding more details about events that took place, giving the reader more in depth descriptions of the cruelties the female MC endured. For example, rather than just writing, "he raped me", it would be nice if the author had at least described portions of what happened (was he on top of her, standing up, on a bed, etc.). There was one particular customer who was described more than anyone else but again, I thought that more detail would have made that scene better.

Ms. Hodge did a fantastic job of telling this story in a classy way. Trafficking is not something all people want to read about yet like the author states in her notes, this is a huge, real problem that people need to read about and discuss.

"We are only as blind as we want to be"

This short novel should be shared by all.
It sheds light on the gritty and grotesque world we live in while asking the question "what can you do?"
I am thankful for authors like Sible Hodge who are not afraid to speak out, use their gifts, and ask for change.
It was a very gripping and educational novel and sparked in me a fire to be aware and fight for all those who are enslaved by our worlds corruption.

The narrator Ilyana Kadushin perfectly reflected the internal and external struggle of the young protagonist. I truly admire her skill to present a novel that is rough to it's very core.

Overall this novel was well written and produced.

Very tastefully told

This is a story that is all too real for so many. It's scary that in this day and age this still goes on!
