À propos de cet audio

When Freya falls for the manipulative Kane, her life changes beyond her wildest imagination. When the luxurious life she craves gradually becomes intolerable she realises escape is out of reach. Her life has changed, and so has she. She knows that when she least expects it, he will return and make good his promise to exact revenge and ensure she pays the price he felt he is owed.

Can Freya ever be free?

Who ever knew love could be so dangerous?

Amazing book, highly recommend reading it. Great author, well told story. It’s really sad to know that women get abused this way.

Loved this book! The narrator was amazing and the story was really heartbreaking but a great ending!

I loved this book.!!First book by this author and will definitely look for more.
Captivating story with so many twists and turns that made it very addictive to continue listening. I could not put it down.
Beautifully written and beautifully narrated . Loved the narrator. She took us on the journey with so much reverence in her lovely voice .

I agree with others it could have been at least 3 hours shorter. Went on a bit and was long winded. I just fast forward the mundane stuff a few times

However, this did not take away from the unique plot and unpredictable outcome of this story.
It was very disturbing to hear how some women can tolerate bad behaviour and make excuses for the offenders.
Loved the ending and the Epilogue. Wonderful book.
Worth a CREDIT. Thank you Audible Plus for including it in my Library.

Phenomenal!!! Suspenseful and thrilling .

What a book, I’ll say now it’s not an easy fall asleep listening to it type of story. As someone who has experienced dv this one was hard. The narrator was one of the best I’ve heard. And the story pulls you in right away, I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus after reading this one. Amazing listen 10/10

Wow.

This book starts like a "journaling" assignment from a therapist counseling a survivor of an abusive relationship: urging her to write down her experiences. Strikingly relatable girl-next-door 'Freya' tells a sadly familiar story: starting with "swept-off-her-feet" romance/seduction and collapsing into red-flags -> jealousy/possessiveness/isolation -> physical/sexual abuse. Unfortunately, Patricia Dixon's initially realistic antagonist 'Kane' is revealed to be a cartoonishly evil scumbag (involved in car theft rings, drug dealing, international money laundering, and underground sex clubs/snuff film production). The final third of 'Over My Shoulder' - after Freya finally leaves - is ludicrously silly.. turning into an "escape the kidnappers" story.
Yes, Freya's harrowing personal tale devolves into over-the-top obvious fiction - but still has some disturbingly true-to-life elements (Trigger Warnings for readers who have survived abuse are warranted).

Reader Helen MacFarlane's performance is genuinely praiseworthy (her Manchester accent for Freya is absolutely spot-on, for example).. but Whole Story/QUEST Audio/W.F.Howes sound editors do a terrible job splicing re-recorded segments into the overall product - sound levels aren't matched *at all*.
The audiobook isn't "bad" per se, but sounds somewhat lazily thrown together.

Factoring in the subpar sound quality, this recording rates a mere 4.5 out of 10 stars. It was a reasonable download as a 'Plus' selection (included with my membership).. but spending a Credit on it would be indefensible.

Largely A Troubling Testimonial.. That Falls Apart

Could have benefited from a trim. It was long and started to feel very messy after a while. I didn't finish it.

Would have preferred the story told the story instead of the asides where the main character talks to the reader.
