À propos de cet audio

A completely addictive story that will have you on the edge of your seat

She’d do anything for her boy…

Vanessa Sawyer knows all about pain. She’s felt it every day since marrying the boy who fathered her baby in high school. All he’s meant are broken bones, broken heart and broken dreams. But he also brought her the love of her life. When her son Wren was born, her baby boy was her salvation.

Vanessa watches Wren grow and become a young man she can be proud of. Until one night everything changes, including Wren. One night that her son refuses to speak of. Now Vanessa can’t rest, not until she uncovers the secret that her son has been hiding from her.

Will she find the answers she’s searching for or will her quest for the truth take her to a dark place where all hope is lost?

One evil act. One tragedy. Lives destroyed forever.

Heart-pounding and unforgettable, Kirsty Ferguson has written the perfect novel for all fans of Shari Lapena and Kendra Elliot.

This was clearly written by a British author, yet was told without a British accent, which was somewhat off-putting when non-North American terms were used (eg. 'lounge', 'singlet', 'jumpers, among others, plus the constant tea drinking!). Classic abused woman story but sometimes hard to believe. Overall, I was happy this was a free listen.

Glad it was free

Wow this book is amazing and the ending was so shocking! Fantastic story and loved how there were many layers to the story

Shocking ending

I find endings that cut off abruptly annoying especially when all other aspects of the books are given in great detail. Worth the listen if you can handle listening to very graphic violence against women.

Drawn out and depressing but engaging

If you are interested in this book, I recommend the paperback. This narrator's mouth noises are vile and nasty. so distracting. They ruin the book.

Terrible Narrator

There is a lot to say here. First of all, I have never had a book make me cry like this book dead. Cry and cry and cry. They’re probably need to be warnings on this book, I saw none, so I will see it here “major trigger warnings”. Domestic violence, rape, suicide attempts, death…. There was a lot going on in this book. I will also say that either this author has done her research, or she has personal experience with these things, because of the writing is fantastic in terms of relating what the inner dialogue is often like.
At one point I do notice the mouse sounds that a previous poster referred to, however I did not find they were throughout the whole book, and was able to tune them out. There were some little annoying things here and there, like how one character constantly refers to another as their best friend. It became overused. And add another point near the end there is what seems like a pretty big leap to me of the main characters theory on what has happened. It just seemed in that specific moment to be a bit of a lazy leap to move the story to where she needed it to go. So this is too harsh criticism for what it is. Overall I think it was very well written and very well performed. And I think it definitely speaks to the devastating impact of some of the social themes that have come out in it, even if a little overdone at times.

Ummm. WOW.

Many have commented on the disturbing and graphic content (domestic violence, rape) in this story. While uncomfortable to listen to, it’s essential to the story.
The first half of the book is basically back story. I found this book not so much a thriller as a domestic tragedy with a twist. I stuck it out to the end because I did want to find out what happened.
The story had potential and I had high hopes but by the end of the book I really disliked the main character and, without spoiling, her choices late in the novel angered me to the point it ruined the whole thing and lowered my rating.

Mixed opinion on this book

One reviewer commented that this book Gould come with a trigger warning, but I felt the synopsis definitely prepared you for domestic violence. Another mentioned mouth noises, I agree, but I don’t think the worst of the noises are mouth noises. It sounds a bit crackly, like the narrator has pop rocks in her mouth. It makes for an unpleasant listen.

Based on some of the terminology used in the story I suspect that it is set in England or perhaps Australia. Having a North American sounding reader is not the best fit for the terms used in the book. I find the story quite unrealistic in many aspects. Seems very strange that a person would get pregnant each of the two times she had sexual contact in the beginning of the book.

The plot has potential, the details are somewhat far fetched. I like a story that is more realistic. The writing is kind of lack lustre. Entertaining enough for my needs depending on my mood but glad I did not use a credit for it.

Meh

This was not a bad listen, but it was a hard listen. There is a lot of trauma embedded in this book. I would definitely read the trigger warning before picking this up.

Trigger warnings!

BEWARE!!! There should be trigger warnings for this novel written by Kirsty Ferguson, and deftly narrated by Susie James. There are multiple graphic depictions of rape, spousal abuse, including beatings, scaldings, broken bones, and of successful suicide.

I listened to this with earbuds and could hear the narrator's dry mouth sounds that the sound editors made no effort to fix. This was distracting and irritating.

The protagonist relies on her son for medical care after beatings by her husband, his father, which just seems wrong on so many levels. He is not her care-giver and support person. He is her child. She made something out of their relationship that no child should have to give.

SPOILER ALERT: The ending sits very uncomfortably with me. Her son raped girls, including his girlfriend who he thought it might lead to her taking her life. Instead of bringing justice and healing to those girls and their families, she chose to hide his abuse and perpetuate the lie that he was a loving, respectful man of women. And what of his partners in his rape crimes? She has left them to continue to prey on young girls. Disgusting!

BEWARE TRIGGERS! Rape, spousal abuse, suicide
