Disappointing ending

The story rolled great and you got a feeling that it would end up with a real surprising ending, but, it failed at that point. The end just didn’t do the book justice, sort of finished up in a hurry.

Meh

Such a good plot yet was flat and drawn out in the middle.
Would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't for the awful American accents and ear piercing shouts.

Loved it

Really enjoyed this slightly disappointing ending felt like it built and built but then it was all too quick at the end. Maybe I just didn’t want it to end.
Loved it though x

Just a little bit more ....

I was gripped by this book from the very beginning. I loved the similarities to ‘making a murderer ‘, I liked the way that ‘something ‘ started to evolve in the story and that something wasn’t quite right. BUT, I felt disappointed by the ending, I needed more info ... who, when, why, what !! There was a little bit of information but but that opened more need for information. Great performances, I really couldn’t wait to listen to this book, just a let down at the end.

Simple story, read very well

I surprisingly enjoyed this story. I assumed from the sample it would’ve been predictable and yes it was but it wasn’t so predictable that I gave up reading half way through. I would give it a shot if I were you

Original Story

Although the narration became a little over the top at times, the story was original and had many dark moments which kept me listening

Wow fascinating, really well read different who done it

Having never really understood women who write and even marry to guys on death row other than as long as USA keeps them locked you have romance with no dirty socks, and loneliness is awful. This listen has lots of twists and turns explores loyalty, delusions and the cruelty, kindness and sheer complexity of love, need and damaged people. Took me a short while to get into it but well worth it

Twisted!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Well even a seasoned thriller reader such as I was thrown by the turn of events in the final pages and that’s quite a thing - or THANG as they’d say in Red River County, scene of the events in this thriller. I’d recommend this audiobook to anyone - as long as they’re not in a hurry to switch off and get some shut eye.

What did you like best about this story?

The careful attention to detail. The atmosphere. The clever one liners. The Jerry Springer / Louis Theroux type documentary undertones. The non physical cat fight between the little schoolma’am from the U.K. and the alligator thrashing, Deep South trailer trashing ex-girlfriend of our hero.

What does Christina Cole and Lorelei King bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

TBH the writing is EVERYTHING so although the narration is great, the images, voices and atmosphere conjured up in my mind from first reading the hardback book were as good as I’ve ever experienced.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Nobody warned Samantha to be careful what she wished for...

Any additional comments?

This was the audiobook of the author’s first published work... can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
