Great story with a really great narrator!

Pros:
Based on a true crime story
Supernatural spookiness
Naturally gifted psychic mediums
Independent, successful, sexually confident female MC
Multiple crimes and suspects
Really thrilling and "happy" ending
Romance

Cons:
Some parts were a little slow for me (but the ending was fast moving and thrilling)
The excess drinking of the female MC bothered me because she was a strong woman and it made her very weak in those instances.

Altogether, a great read and a really great narrator for the audiobook version! 4.5⭐️ rounded up to 5. I will definitely read/listen to more of this author's work.

Enjoyable

This story started out being suspenseful but by the end it was a little bit of a letdown. The supernatural turned out not to be scary. I liked the characters and the story line but the book, as a whole, fell short. Love the narrator. Will definitely get another book from this author to see where she goes.

Very, very good

Well, this is another great story by this author.

A beautifully haunting tale of loss and fate, for moments truly chilling but always captivating. The character of Iris is great, and when she decides that she needs to know the truth.... oh! then her determination is astonishing. And her grandmother! She's such a sweet, comforting woman. I really loved her, too.

The writing is, as always, really good, with the perfect flow between calm and tension to keep you trapped in the story.

The resolution of the mystery was completely unexpected, but once you understand what happened it makes perfect sense. And the ending is very satisfactory.

Elizabeth Phillips' narration is excellent.

Review for Still Falling

I loved the mix between different tropes like Horror, Paranormal and True Crime. It was a great build-up towards all the characters my favorite being Lola and Aiden while having a love-hate relationship with District Attorney.

When Iris discovers the gift she shares with her grandmother it brings in that Paranormal side and it did scare me a few times picturing the dead. I loved Lola because my grandma suffers from Dementia, So hearing the relationship between Iris and her brought such a warm mix of sadness to my heart. However, I enjoyed it because I would picture myself at times as Iris in those chapters.

The only Critique I have is, that I wish the scenes didn't fade to Black between Irish and the other characters during intimate moments. That it was more descriptive.

The ending was unexpected but I enjoyed it! Definitely would recommend it to anyone who wants to read/listen to Still Falling.

One of my favorite books!

Great mystery with no unnecessary detailed sex scenes, just plain fun to listen to. It’s a bit creepy with a great mystery. Pretty predictable but still so good! I absolutely loved it! Made my work day go by faster

Intriguing and exciting

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It covers an age old mystery of disappearing boys as well as more recent mysteries, that are in some ways connected to the past. I loved the characters and the story, it developed well and kept me interested throughout.
note that I was given this book for free at my request and have left this objective review voluntarily.

my favorite 1 yet

J.R. Erickson never seems to amaze me with the way he takes true story's and turn them into such an amazing read/listen, his story may change alot but in honesty everything he says could be 100 percent true .

Captivating and mysterious

I haven’t listened to an audio book for years. I also have never read anything by this author. After listening to this book, I will definitely read more books from the author or listen to them. The narrator did a nice job with the characters voices. She really brought the book to life and made it so easy to visualize. The author did an amazing job with this book. I didn’t want to stop listening once I started. The storyline was smooth and didn’t make you jump all over the place to follow. I like how she made the characters flawed, likable and believable. The plot was captivating, it intrigued me and pulled me in. The plot started out a bit slow as it introduced you to the characters but it quickly picked up the pace with the story. I was sad it ended but definitely look forward to reading more from this author. I would recommend this book to all of my friends that like reading.
