Entertaining audiobook, definitely did not know the plot (or guess it), and I enjoyed listening to this one quite a bit. The readers were fabulous.

I always enjoy books from this duo, but I never rate them highly. A lot of characters felt disposable  in this book, probably because they were sort of treated like that by some of the main characters. These same supporting characters were a little flat/one note. The short flashbacks to capture their raisin d’être very much felt like ones you’d see on TV. But unfortunately, without the constant visual reminder of the screen, I often found myself asking who was who. So while the plot is character driven, most of the characters lack dimensionality so I found myself caring little about the outcome.

4.5

This one took me a while to get into. Once I did it was definitely an interesting story. It does revolve around a suicide and it does bring up cases of rape so this might not be for everyone. But once it grabbed my attention I was hooked and had to know everything about this secret group of women and what they were trying to protect. If it’s a little slow for you in the beginning I’d definitely recommend powering through!
