phew... suspense galore

WOW this was suspenseful. My first book from Ms. Tharp, she really knows how to keep the reader on tenterhooks. Intense plot kept me listening and knowing who the suspect is and his intentions, following the parallel story until the culmination still had me holding my breath at times and my heart galloping. Loved the ending.
Listening to Mr. Cole telling it, his voice animated and versatile is what made the story even better. One of my top 5 voices I always look forward to listen to.

Incredible romantic suspense!

A certain kind of book really sucks me in for that continual listen, and this romantic suspense had me from the first minute. This is my first Vicki Tharp book, and certainly will not be my last. With character development, a well thought out plot and some sizzling romance thrown in, this novel is incredibly addicting. Audrey is finally taking charge of her life and going to and renovate her Uncle's home on the island that is the only place that Audrey has ever felt comfortable. Little does she know that on her way, she meets up with a serial killer who know has her set as his next victim. She leaves the love of her life behind, Scott, who is unable to commit to his feelings. When danger lurks though, Scott and island dweller, Jack are there to help Audrey as well as her brother, Matt. These three men are key to her life, but til the very end, we are unsure whether this one crazy killer will outsmart them all. The suspense is high, the romance both frustrating and hot, and the book amazing. It will keep you on the edge of your seat.

With a story like this, the narration is most important. DC Cole gives the narration such a real texture that the fear and danger was palpable. He has a way of captivating the listener and keeping the suspense piqued so it's hard to stop listening. Along with the warmth and passion between the characters, Cole gives a performance to remember.

Cole elevated the entire story for me!

My first Vicki Tharp story, I was pleased with her writing. I was happy with the romance added and honestly didn’t know who to root for when a love triangle unfolded a bit. The slow build up to the action, the meet up, in this story made me feel almost consumed by the story. I couldn’t stop listening and found myself cleaning just so I could listen longer! I’d definitely listen again. My only problem with the story was I wanted more of what the killer did with his victims and his story. I wanted a bit more in his head.

This was my first book narrated by DC Cole and he was fantastic! He has this real deep voice that first seduces you with the power behind it. But Cole also expressed so much emotion in his infliction. It was amazing! I always feel a bit tentative when having one narrator take on several points of views, but Cole was perfect! I had no problems following the voice of who he was. He is fantastic in the mind of the serial killer; I could feel my own heart speeding up! He totally elevated the entire story for me!

Oh, I won`t look back

Another great audiobook by one of my favourite narrators.
Not my instant go to genre but I really did enjoy this book very much, and honestly it was only made better my DC Cole.

Suspenseful!

This was my first Vicki Tharp's book and won't be the last. This story is very well written, suspenseful, entertaining and fast pace! All the characters are very interesting. I love the two main characters Audrey and Scott. DC Cole did a fantastic narration with all characters. He did a really creepy voice when he was acting Ridley Meyer. Can't wait to listen to Jack's story!
