⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A page turner! She’s unstoppable! I can’t put the books down!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Jade Curry writes in such a way that I am glued to my Kindle from beginning to end!

Getting tired of silly heroines

AI voice was bad, but not as bad as others. But the heroine was dumb - hiding clues, thinking she was doing something....god it was so irritating. You begin to not care about the actual murder.

I did not enjoy the virtual voice

Kind of a substandard story told in a substandard way. Neither impressed by the book nor of the virtual voice.. it’s a good thing. These books are free.
