Dead Sound

Things Unseen, Book 1

By: Anise Eden

Narrated by: Lisa Kay

The tender scars on her abdomen throb as memories of the attack come rushing back, flooding her mind and sending her heart racing....

Psychotherapist Neve Keane knew that returning to work at the hospital after being stabbed by a patient would be difficult. But entering her unit only to be surrounded by a crowd of people claiming they need her help to stop the apocalypse—that’s more than she bargained for.

When the crowd’s leader turns out to be a mutual patient of Neve and her best friend, streetwise Irish doctor Cornelius O’Brien, they are both pulled into a Byzantine plot that transforms Capitol Hill General into a dangerous place where threats and betrayals lurk around every corner.

Then, their mutual patient falls into a mysterious coma, and the clues he left behind lead Neve and Cornelius straight into Washington, DC’s ugly underbelly: a world of shadowy political forces with long arms and deadly intentions. As they race to unravel the threads of a sinister conspiracy that leads from their hospital all the way to the White House, Neve and Cornelius realize they might be fighting to stop the end of the world, after all—provided they can survive the week with targets on their backs.

intriguing

Neve was a work in frustration for me. She blew up randomly and over what I consider nothing with boyfriend Con. I give him a medal for putting up with her wild emotions and mood swings. Amos was my favorite character. He was intriguing and intuitive but persistent to get his point across. Stephen was a weak man and a bully with entitlement issues. I did enjoy the suspenseful story despite Neve"s bad behaviors. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.

I enjoyed the building of the characters, great back stories. Made you want to read about them.

There really was’nt anything i disliked about this book. The story line kept me wanting to continue listening in my car on way to and from work! Lisa K. was an amazing narrator. She took on the foreign accents very well!

Love story with politics, medical drama and intrigue

Intriguing medical-political suspense, with a sweet love story.

Lisa Kay’s narration is compelling and makes it hard to put down. Definitely binge-worthy audible!

All the things you love in a book

Dead sound was a good combo of mystery and romance. I enjoyed the narrator Lisa Kay

so much to love!

Story: 4 thumbs up! This is an awesome, fast moving, interesting combination of medical and political thriller, complete with a slow burn romance, a Super Villain, and a hostage taking (kinda). Any fan of JD Robb books will totally love this one. It’s a tight narrative with few wasted words. The characters are fully fleshed out and interesting. I especially loved the third act break-up, as it was realistic given the heroine’s established previous trauma and trust issues (nothing on the page). I’m a sucker for a British Isles hero and Con doesn’t disappoint. He’s in turns bossy man doctor type and loving, gooey cinnamon roll hero. All the things we love!

Narrator: 4 thumbs up! Lisa Kay is new to me but I loved the way she handled the nuances of all the characters. She stayed consistent with her cadence and timbre and the few things she said in Con’s Irish accent were well-done. She has a soft voice that really fit Neve (heroine’s) character.

The ending: 3.5 thumbs up! Yo, Anise…..I was sorta hoping for a fun first date for these 2 that would culminate with a tumble in the sack, but otherwise, well done.
