Would make a decent Lifetime movie.

Good for young adults. Narration was hard to listen to. While the narrator has a pleasant voice, she could not quite get into character mode though her NY and Jersey accents were spot on! The rest was monotonous. Kept drifting from Yankee to a northern Appalachian sound. I would listen to he again if the book was written in 1st person POV however. As for the story, as the title says, it would make a decent made for TV movie.

Don't waste your money.

The story had so many holes and unbelievable characters that I was surprised it made the list. I kept listening, thinking it would get better- it didn't.

WOW!

It starts out slow hut it builds up. A really good book. The ending is awesome! The narrator is ok, I've heard better but still did a descent job.

i listened to 2 and a half hours of this book. They hadn't even made it to the house yet. All that time was spent setting up the characters. They had just brought the house when i stopped.
